CVE-2008-7289: IBM Tivoli Directory Server

Medium severity, CVSS 4.0. EPSS: 0.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) 5.2 before 5.2.0.5-TIV-ITDS-LA0007 does not properly handle the simultaneous changing of multiple passwords, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (DB2 daemon deadlock) by making password changes that trigger updates to a DB2 password-history table.

Affected products

• IBM Tivoli Directory Server: version 5.2.0 only; version 5.2.0.4 only
