Impacto

 Los usuarios autenticados de LDAP no pueden iniciar sesión en el MDM. Cambio de MDM en cada intento de LDAP

Es un problema relacionado con el SO, específico de Ubuntu cuando se utiliza OpenLDAP.

Cuando la función interna de PowerFlex intenta copiar el número de caracteres baseDn en la solicitud de autenticación, utiliza el tamaño de caracteres LdapDn char[256] codificado de forma rígida, que es 256, donde el máximo para iniciar una solicitud de conexión es de 128 caracteres, que se representa mediante FQDN(char[128]).

El máximo para iniciar una solicitud de conexión es de 128 caracteres; como resultado, el intento de enviar una solicitud de autenticación provoca un desbordamiento del buffer.

En otros sistemas operativos, la operación de copia copia el mínimo de caracteres en Fqdn (char[128]), que es el número real de caracteres (menos de 128). En Ubuntu, copia la longitud de LdapDn char[256], que es 256.
