NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openldap package and not the openldap package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In OpenLDAP through 2.4.57 and 2.5.x through 2.5.1alpha, an assertion failure in slapd can occur in the issuerAndThisUpdateCheck function via a crafted packet, resulting in a denial of service (daemon exit) via a short timestamp. This is related to schema_init.c and checkTime.
