The vulnerabilities consists mainly in buffer overflows in both the
OpenLDAP server and in the libraries provided with the OpenLDAP
package. Some of these vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers
remotely or locally to compromise the OpenLDAP server or applications
linked against the vulnerable libraries.
