- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

Sun(sm) Alert Notification
     * Sun Alert ID: 102875
     * Synopsis: Security Vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory
       Server May Allow Unauthorized Data Modifications
     * Category: Security
     * Product: Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2, Sun Java System
       Directory Server Enterprise Edition
     * BugIDs: 6530624
     * Avoidance: Patch
     * State: Resolved
     * Date Released: 13-Jun-2007
     * Date Closed: 13-Jun-2007
     * Date Modified: 

1. Impact

   A security vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Server may allow
   a local or remote unprivileged user to to obtain unauthorized access
   and perform specific data modifications in the directory server, which
   would normally require root access privileges.

2. Contributing Factors

   This issue can occur in the following releases for all platforms
   (Solaris 8, 9 and 10 for SPARC and x86 platforms, Linux, Windows,
   HP-UX, and AIX):

   Native Package Versions:
     * Sun Java System Directory Server 5 (2005Q1) 5.2 Patch 3
     * Sun Java System Directory Server 5 (2005Q4) 5.2 Patch 4
     * Sun Java Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6.0

   PatchZIP (Compressed Archive) Versions:
     * Sun Java Sy tem Directory Server 5 (2005Q1) 5.2 Patch 3
     * Sun Java System Directory Server 5 (2005Q4) 5.2 Patch 4
     * Sun Java Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6.0

   Note: Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Patch 2 and previous
   versions are not affected by this issue.

   To determine the version of Directory Server running on a system, the
   following command can be used:
    $ cd <installation directory>/bin/slapd/server[/64]
    $ ./ns-slapd -V -D <instance-directory>


3. Symptoms

   If the described unauthorized data modification has occurred, then
   that particular modification might be found in the Directory Server
   Access logs. That log entry could further help to trace the user
   responsible for that modification. If audit logging is enabled in the
   Directory Server, more detailed information could be gathered about
   the unauthorized modification.

   Logs can be inspected on the "Status" panel of the Directory Server
   console. The default access log file is:
   ServerRoot/slapd-serverID/logs/access.
