This protocol anomaly is an LDAP search request where the values in the derefAliases field do not conform to those values specified for that field. The conformant values are 0, 1, and 2.
A protocol anomaly exists in LDAP when a remote attacker maliciously forms an invalid LDAP Search Request message. Depending on the implementation of LDAP, the application handling the invalid packets could cause a disclosure of sensitive information, a denial of service, or enable the execution of malicious code on the server.
