How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 389-ds-base-snmp.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 389-ds-base-snmp package and not the 389-ds-base-snmp package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

389-ds-base before version 1.3.6 is vulnerable to an improperly NULL terminated array in the uniqueness_entry_to_config() function in the "attribute uniqueness" plugin of 389 Directory Server. An authenticated, or possibly unauthenticated, attacker could use this flaw to force an out-of-bound heap memory read, possibly triggering a crash of the LDAP service.
