Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security
impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

Description

The redhat-ds-base packages provide Red Hat Directory Server, which is an
LDAPv3 compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for
server administration.

It was found that when replication was enabled for each attribute in Red
Hat Directory Server, which is the default configuration, the server
returned replicated metadata when the directory was searched while
debugging was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to disclose
potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3562)

This issue was discovered by Ludwig Krispenz of Red Hat.

All Red Hat Directory Server 8 users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
