OpenLDAP 2.4.x Weak Cipher Vulnerability. OpenLDAP is prone to a weak cipher vulnerability. The nss_parse_ciphers function in libraries/libldap/tls_m.c does not properly parse OpenSSL-style multi-keyword mode cipher strings, which might cause a weaker than intended cipher to be used and allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors. Affected version is 2.4.x. Update to version 2.5 or later
