Summary
======
The package 389-ds-base before version 2.0.7-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including authentication bypass and denial of service.

Resolution

Upgrade to 2.0.7-1.

# pacman -Syu "389-ds-base>=2.0.7-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.0.7.

Workaround

Description
==========
- CVE-2021-3514 (denial of service)

A security issue was found in 389-ds-base before version 2.0.5. When
using a sync_repl client, an authenticated attacker can cause a NULL
pointer dereference using a specially crafted query, causing a crash of
389-ds-base.

- CVE-2021-3652 (authentication bypass)

In 389-ds-base before version 2.0.7, it was found that if an asterisk
is imported as a password hash, either accidentally or maliciously,
then instead of being inactive, any password will successfully match
during authentication. This would allow an attacker to successfully
authenticate as a user who's password was supposedly disabled.

Impact
=====
An attacker could successfully authenticate as a user who's password
was supposedly disabled. Furthermore, an authenticated attacker could
crash the 389-ds-base server.
