How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 389-ds to version 1.4.0.3-4.7.52 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 389-ds package and not the 389-ds package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that 389-ds-base since 1.3.6.1 up to and including 1.4.0.3 did not always handle internal hash comparison operations correctly during the authentication process. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to bypass the authentication process under very rare and specific circumstances.
