NewCVE-2025-61912 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:14 python-ldap.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-ldap package and not the python-ldap package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.
python-ldap is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client API for Python. In versions prior to 3.4.5, ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() escapes \x00 incorrectly by emitting a backslash followed by a literal NUL byte instead of the RFC-4514 hex form \00. Any application that uses this helper to construct DNs from untrusted input can be made to consistently fail before a request is sent to the LDAP server (e.g., AD), resulting in a client-side denial of service. Version 3.4.5 contains a patch for the issue.
