Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for 389-ds-base.

CVE-2026-9064[0]:
| A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The get_ldapmessage_controls_ext()
| function in the LDAP server does not enforce an upper bound on the
| number of controls per LDAP message. A remote, unauthenticated
| attacker can send a specially crafted LDAP request containing
| hundreds of thousands of minimal controls within the default maximum
| BER message size (2 MB), causing excessive CPU consumption and heap
| allocation on the server. Under concurrent exploitation, this leads
| to significant latency degradation, worker thread starvation, or
| out-of-memory termination, resulting in a denial of service.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
