patch available.

  - A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The server does not discard plaintext bytes already buffered from a
    client connection when negotiating StartTLS, allowing an on-path attacker to inject a crafted LDAP message
    that is processed after the TLS upgrade and whose response is delivered to the client in place of the
    client's own pending operation's response, due to messageID collision. This can cause a client application
    to treat a failed authentication (bind) attempt as successful. (CVE-2026-86345)
