Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2131-03 – OpenLDAP is an open-source suite of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of protocols used to access and maintain distributed directory information services over an IP network. The openldap packages contain configuration files, libraries, and documentation for OpenLDAP. A flaw was found in the way OpenLDAP parsed OpenSSL-style cipher strings. As a result, OpenLDAP could potentially use ciphers that were not intended to be enabled. This issue was discovered by Martin Poole of the Red Hat Software Maintenance Engineering group.
