4.9 MediumFix available

An issue was discovered in the server in OpenLDAP before 2.4.48. When the server administrator delegates rootDN (database admin) privileges for certain databases but wants to maintain isolation (e.g., for multi-tenant deployments), slapd does not properly stop a rootDN from requesting authorization as an identity from another database during a SASL bind or with a proxyAuthz (RFC 4370) control. (It is not a common configuration to deploy a system where the server administrator and a DB administrator enjoy different levels of trust.)

Updated openldap packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated openldap packages fix security vulnerabilities: It was discovered that OpenLDAP incorrectly handled rootDN delegation. A database administrator could use this issue to request authorization as an identity from another database, contrary to expectations (CVE-2019-13057).

It was discovered that OpenLDAP incorrectly handled SASL authentication and session encryption. After a first SASL bind was completed, it was possible to obtain access by performing simple binds, contrary to expectations (CVE-2019-13565).
