description
Apache Directory LDAP API versions 2.1.0 through 2.1.8 can cause LDAP servers using the library to consume a CPU core indefinitely. An attacker must be able to submit specially malformed telephone-number values for the server to process.
mitigation
Upgrade org.apache.directory.api:api-ldap-model to version 2.1.9 or later. Prioritize the update on LDAP servers that accept untrusted directory requests.
fixed in 2.1.9
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
