CVE-2008-2932
Heap-based buffer overflow in Red Hat adminutil 1.1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via % (percent) encoded HTTP input to unspecified CGI scripts in Fedora Directory Server.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
