Description:
Ubuntu has issued an update for openldap. This fixes a vulnerability, which can potentially be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certificates containing NULL ('\0') characters in the subject's Common Name (CN) field. This can be exploited to e.g. conduct Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks via specially crafted certificates.
