Answer in brief
CVE-2026-11793 records a Medium severity (CVSS 4.9) vulnerability in 389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: stack buffer overflow in checkprefix() algorithm id parsing. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Red Hat/389-ds-base (generic), Red Hat/redhat-ds:11/389-ds-base (generic), Red Hat/redhat-ds:12/389-ds-base (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 4.9. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The checkPrefix() function in pw.c copies an attacker-controlled algorithm ID into a 256-byte stack buffer without bounds checking when parsing reversible-encrypted attribute values. An attacker with Directory Manager privileges can crash the LDAP server by storing a crafted credential with an oversized algorithm ID. FORTIFY_SOURCE mitigates this to denial of service only.
