Vendor Workaround
Restrict Cockpit 389 Console access to trusted administrators, and restrict delegated LDAP add/rename privileges to trusted accounts, until a fix is available. This issue only affects Red Hat Directory Server deployments that include the Cockpit console; plain RHEL 389-ds-base is not affected.

| Description | A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The Cockpit 389 Console's LDAP editor constructs an ldapsearch command by embedding an LDAP entry's distinguished name (DN) into a shell command string without proper escaping. An LDAP user with delegated privileges to create or rename directory entries could craft a malicious DN containing shell metacharacters. When a Cockpit administrator subsequently views the entry in the 389 Console, the embedded shell command executes with root privileges on the directory server host. | |
