Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in (1) ns-slapd and (2) slapd.exe in Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0, Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2, and Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted LDAP search request.

The core_get_proxyauth_dn function in ns-slapd in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted LDAP Search Request message.

Unspecified vulnerability in the psearch (aka persistent search) functionality in Directory Proxy Server (DPS) in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (psearch outage) by using a crafted psearch client to send requests that trigger a psearch thread loop, aka Bug Id 6855978.

Directory Proxy Server (DPS) in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3.1 does not enable the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection slot exhaustion) via multiple connections, aka Bug Id 6782659.

Directory Proxy Server (DPS) in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3.1 does not properly implement the max-client-connections configuration setting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection slot exhaustion) by making multiple connections and performing no operations on these connections, aka Bug Id 6648665.

Directory Proxy Server (DPS) in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3.1 does not properly handle multiple client connections within a short time window, which allows remote attackers to hijack the backend connection of an authenticated user, and obtain the privileges of this user, by making a client connection in opportunistic circumstances, related to "long binds," aka Bug Ids 6828462 and 6823593.

The Online Help feature in Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 and Enterprise Edition 5 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files and directories, and possibly obtain partial contents of files, via unspecified vectors.

Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3, when a JDBC data source is used, does not properly handle (1) a long value in an ADD or (2) long string attributes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JDBC backend outage) via crafted LDAP requests.

Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 p6 and earlier, and Enterprise Edition 5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted LDAP requests.

Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 classifies a connection using the "bind-dn" criteria, which can cause an incorrect application of policy and allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions for the server.
