Reino: Code Quality

Una mala calidad del código lleva a un comportamiento no predecible. Desde la perspectiva de un usuario, muchas veces también supone una usabilidad limitada. Pero para un atacante es una oportunidad para atacar al sistema de formas insospechadas.

Unreleased Resource: LDAP

Abstract
Es posible que el programa no pueda liberar un recurso de LDAP.
Explanation
Es posible que el programa no pueda liberar un recurso de LDAP.

Las pérdidas de recursos presentan dos causas habituales:

- Condiciones de error y otras circunstancias excepcionales.

- Confusión en cuanto a la parte del programa responsable de liberar el recurso.

La mayoría de los problemas de recursos no liberados provocan problemas generales de confiabilidad del software. Sin embargo, si un usuario malintencionado puede activar de forma intencionada una pérdida de recursos, es posible que este pueda iniciar un ataque de denegación de servicio agotando el conjunto de recursos.

Ejemplo 1: En condiciones normales, el siguiente código ejecuta una consulta LDAP, procesa los resultados devueltos por Active Directory y cierra el objeto DirectoryEntry asignado. Sin embargo, si se produce una excepción al ejecutar la consulta LDAP o al procesar los resultados, el objeto DirectoryEntry no se cerrará. Esto introducirá una pérdida de memoria en la aplicación, ya que DirectoryEntry usa las API de COM internamente para realizar consultas en el servidor de Active Directory.


  ...
  DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com");
  DirectorySearcher mySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
  SearchResultCollection result = mySearcher.FindAll();
  CheckUsers(result);
  mySearcher.Dispose();
  entry.Close();
  ...
