389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: heap-buffer-overflow in dn normalization via quoted multivalued rdn

A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). When
normalizing a Distinguished Name (DN) that contains a legacy-quoted value encoding a
multivalued nested Relative Distinguished Name (RDN), the server can write past the
end of a heap allocation while sorting RDN attribute-value pairs. An unauthenticated
remote attacker can trigger this condition by sending an LDAP operation whose DN
reaches the DN normalization routine, such as a search with a crafted base DN. This
can corrupt heap memory and may cause denial of service.

CWE-122 Heap-based Buffer Overflow

A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
