Debian: DLA-1891-1 Critical: OpenLDAP Access Control Issues

Calendar Grey August 18, 2019

rootDN from requesting authorization as an identity from another

(It is not a common configuration to deploy a system where the
server administrator and a DB administrator enjoy different levels

When using SASL authentication and session encryption, and relying
on the SASL security layers in slapd access controls, it is possible
to obtain access that would otherwise be denied via a simple bind
for any identity covered in those ACLs. After the first SASL bind is
completed, the sasl_ssf value is retained for all new non-SASL
connections. Depending on the ACL configuration, this can affect
different types of operations (searches, modifications, etc.). In
