Discussion

Likewise 'lsassd' Service Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Likewise is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate validation checks on user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to terminate the Likewise Security Authority ('lsassd') service, triggering a denial-of-service condition.
