OVERVIEW
Two denial of service vulnerabilities were discovered in
'out-of-the-box' standard configurations of OpenLDAP. One of these
flaws could lead to arbitrary code execution. [1]
IMPACT
A maliciously crafted destination rdn string can cause OpenLDAP to
crash while processing a 'modrdn' call.
The crash can occur with segfault or at a null pointer dereference.
The null pointer dereference could be used to execute arbitrary code
which could lead to a system compromise.
Authentication is not required to exploit these flaws. [1]
MITIGATION
It is recommended to update to version 2.4.23
