Description

A vulnerability in the Certificate List Exact Assertion validation was discovered in OpenLDAP, a free implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. An unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (slapd daemon crash) via specially crafted packets.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your openldap packages.
