OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications, libraries and development tools.
A flaw was found in the way OpenLDAP handled selfwrite access. Users with selfwrite access were able to modify the distinguished name of any user. Users with selfwrite access should only be able to modify their own distinguished name. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2006-4600 to this issue.
A memory leak bug was found in OpenLDAP's ldap_start_tls_s() function. An application using this function could result in an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition, crashing the application.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by RedHat Linux:
