Discussion

Sun Java System Directory Server Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Sun Java System Directory Server is susceptible to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. This issue is due to an unspecified flaw in the application's installation process.

This issue allows local and remote attackers to gain administrative access to the affected service by logging into the Directory Server console. This may aid them in further attacks. Once attackers have administrative access to the directory server, they may alter data stored there; this data is used by other network services that depend on the directory server for authentication.

Sun Java System Directory Server version 5.2, and version 5.2 patchsets 2, 3, and 4 are vulnerable. If patchset 4 was not installed as an incremental package, it will not be affected. After this issue has been triggered, further installation of fixed packages will not resolve this issue.
