The _ger_parse_control function in Red Hat Directory Server 8 and the 389 Directory Server allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted search query.
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
