How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 openldap to version 2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8.1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The deref_parseCtrl function in servers/slapd/overlays/deref.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.13 through 2.4.40 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via an empty attribute list in a deref control in a search request.
