This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenLDAP. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
OpenLDAP is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to deny service to legitimate users by crashing affected servers. OpenLDAP 2.3.41 is vulnerable to this issue; earlier versions back to approximately 2.1.18 as well as newer versions may also be affected.
