Stack-based buffer overflow in the DoLBURPRequest function in libnldap in ndsd in Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.9 and earlier, and 8.8.1 and earlier in the 8.8.x series, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or CPU consumption) or execute arbitrary code via a long delRequest LDAP Extended Request message, probably involving a long Distinguished Name (DN) field.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
