by Nikola Strahija on November 11th, 2002 If Distinguished Name longer than 255 characters entered as user login name, a buffer overflow would terminate eMFrame.
============================== Impact ===============================
The maximum length for the attribute DN in eDirectory 8.6 and above
is 256 characters. While authenticating into eMFrame, if a DN with
more than 256 characters are passed in by the user, eMFrame will
terminate.

installed.
