openldap: Invalid pointer free in the saslAuthzTo processing
A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to an invalid pointer free and slapd crash in the saslAuthzTo processing, resulting in denial of service.
Statement: This flaw does not affect openldap as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 because the slapd server is not shipped. While Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 does ship the slapd server, this flaw is out of support scope for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and earlier. For more information on support scope, see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ .

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
