How to fix?

Upgrade openldap.org to version 2.3.36 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The BDB backend for slapd in OpenLDAP before 2.3.36 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a potentially-successful modify operation with the NOOP control set to critical, possibly due to a double free vulnerability.
