This CVE record is not being prioritized for NVD enrichment efforts due to resource or other concerns.
Description
The deref_parseCtrl function in servers/slapd/overlays/deref.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.13 through 2.4.40 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via an empty attribute list in a deref control in a search request.
NVD enrichment efforts reference publicly available information to associate
vector strings. CVSS information contributed by other sources is also
displayed.
Note that the deref overlay is not enabled by default, so this vulnerability only affects sites that have explicitly configured their servers to load and enable the overlay. Since this overlay has never been documented, there are no sites outside of the OpenLDAP developer community with a legitimate reason to enable this module.
