The issue affects the cache manager in the client, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation can be done remotely, related to the use of the ERR PTR macro when handling an RX response with a large error-code value that is interpreted as a pointer and dereferenced.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: OpenLDAP versions prior to 2.3.39 OpenLDAP versions prior to 2.3.41 Description: The issue is related to the allocation of memory in the slapo-pcache component of OpenLDAP, which can lead to a denial of service due to a segmentation fault. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and may cause disruption to the availability of protected information. Recommendations: For versions prior to 2.3.39, update to version 2.3.39 or later. For versions prior to 2.3.41, update to version 2.3.41 or later.
