==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

OpenLDAP could be made to perform arbitrary modifications to the database.

Software Description:

the database.

package versions:
