Denis Andzakovic discovered that OpenLDAP, a free implementation of the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, does not properly handle BER
data. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use this flaw to cause a

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.4.31-2+deb7u1.
