SERVER-OTHER -- Snort has detected traffic exploiting vulnerabilities in a server in the network.
SERVER-OTHER OpenLDAP searchRequest denial of service attempt
This rule looks for LDAP searchRequest packets that contain the "certificateListExactMatch" filter OID followed by a "thisUpdate" attribute with an unusually short quoted value. Successful exploitation can cause the OpenLDAP service to crash, resulting in denial of service.
This rule fires on attempts to cause a denial of service condition in OpenLDAP servers via crafted searchRequest packets.

Denial of Service
Denial of Service attacks aim to make a server or program unresponsive for users. These attacks may be volume-based, to overwhelm the system, or they may use certain logical flaws in the software to cut the service off from the users. The attack may come from one or multiple sources. These attacks do not usually lead to a remote code execution. Volume based attacks are best handled using a firewall application.
