Several vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenLDAP, a free
implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. An
unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to
cause a denial of service (slapd daemon crash, infinite loops) via
specially crafted packets.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.47+dfsg-3+deb10u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your openldap packages.

For the detailed security status of openldap please refer to its
security tracker page at:
