Publication date: 09 Apr 2015
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0143.html

Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 4
CVE: CVE-2015-1545

Description:
Updated openldap packages fix security vulnerability:

The deref overlay in slapd 2.4.13 through 2.4.40 dereferences a NULL pointer
when a search request includes the Deref control with an empty list of
attributes to return (missing input validation). This allows a remote
unauthenticated client to crash the LDAP server (CVE-2015-1545).
