   Directory Proxy Server May Grant Unauthorized Administrative Access          
   Bug ID: 6666615

   Product

   Date of Resolved Release: 25-Apr-2008

   SA Document Body
   Security Vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server May Grant
   Unauthorized Administrative Access

1. Impact

   A security vulnerability in the Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server
   may allow a remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized
   administrative access to the server. This is caused by the server
   incorrectly classifying a connection based on the "bind-dn" criteria,
   resulting in an incorrect policy being applied.

2. Contributing Factors

   This issue can occur in the following releases for all platforms
   (Solaris 8, 9, and 10 SPARC and x86 Platforms, Linux, Windows, and
   HP-UX):
     * Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2

   Note: Directory Proxy Server 5.2 is not impacted by this issue.
   To determine if the Directory Server running on a system is affected,
   the following command can be used:

   $ dpadm -V

   If the output contains the version string 6.0, 6.1 or 6.2, the system
   is affected by this issue.

3. Symptoms

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate this issue has
   been exploited.

4. Workaround

   There is no workaround for this issue. Please see the Resolution
   section below.
