How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 openldap to version 2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openldap package and not the openldap package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.4.48. When using SASL authentication and session encryption, and relying on the SASL security layers in slapd access controls, it is possible to obtain access that would otherwise be denied via a simple bind for any identity covered in those ACLs. After the first SASL bind is completed, the sasl_ssf value is retained for all new non-SASL connections. Depending on the ACL configuration, this can affect different types of operations (searches, modifications, etc.). In other words, a successful authorization step completed by one user affects the authorization requirement for a different user.
