CVE-2016-8750
However, it did not encoding usernames properly and hence was vulnerable to LDAP injection attacks leading to a denial of service.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Apache Karaf prior to 4.0.8 used the LDAPLoginModule to authenticate users to a directory via LDAP. However, it did not encoding usernames properly and hence was vulnerable to LDAP injection attacks leading to a denial of service.
