✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Set nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access to rootdse or off. Restrict LDAP ports to trusted networks. Monitor for extop OID 2.16.840.1.113730.3.6.8. Use strong replication manager passwords. Workaround: Disable the deref plugin (most effective): dsconf <instance> plugin deref disable; systemctl restart dirsrv@<instance>. Disable anonymous access (nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access=off) to raise the bar from pre-auth to authenticated exploitation. Configure memory limits as defense-in-depth: set nsslapd-maxbersize and nsslapd-conntablesize, and deploy in a cgroup with memory limits. Workaround: Disable anonymous access by setting nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access to 'off' or 'rootdse' in cn=config. Alternatively, restrict network access to the LDAP port to trusted replication partners only using firewall rules.
