Answer in brief
CVE-2026-15041 records a Low severity (CVSS 3.7) vulnerability in 389-ds-base: 389-ds-base: non-constant-time comparison in pbkdf2-sha256 password verification. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Red Hat/389-ds:1.4/389-ds-base (generic), 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.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 3.7. 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 flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The PBKDF2-SHA256 password verification function uses standard memcmp() for comparing password hashes instead of a constant-time comparison function. A remote attacker could potentially use timing measurements of LDAP bind attempts to infer partial hash information, though practical exploitation is extremely difficult due to PBKDF2 computational overhead.
