Summary
openldap vulnerabilities
Details

Denis Andzakovic discovered that OpenLDAP incorrectly handled certain BER data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenLDAP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-6908)

Dietrich Clauss discovered that the OpenLDAP package incorrectly shipped with a potentially unsafe default access control configuration. Depending on how the database is configure, this may allow users to impersonate others by modifying attributes such as their Unix user and group numbers. (CVE-2014-9713)
