CVE-2016-0741
slapd/connection.c in 389 Directory Server (formerly Fedora Directory Server) 1.3.4.x before 1.3.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and connection blocking) by leveraging an abnormally closed connection.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
