Openldap · Openldap · CVE-2012-1164
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenLDAP versions prior to 2.4.30
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, leading to an assertion failure and daemon exit, via an LDAP search query with `attrsOnly` set to true. This results in empty attributes being returned. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and may lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.4.30, update to version 2.4.30 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to LDAP search queries with `attrsOnly` set to true until a patch is available.
