Description:
Howard Chu has reported a security issue in OpenLDAP, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error within the Access Control List processing. If a user has "selfwrite" access to an attribute, this can be exploited to modify arbitrary values of the attribute.
