"A vulnerability in the handling of normalization with modrdn was
discovered in OpenLDAP, a free implementation of the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use
this flaw to cause a denial of service (slapd daemon crash) via a
specially crafted packet.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your openldap packages.

For the detailed security status of openldap please refer to its
security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/openldap

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
