Overview

Net-ldap implements client access for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an IETF standard protocol for accessing distributed directory services.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks as it did not properly validate SSL certificates. A malicious host could connect to the server, making it to believe it is a trusted host.
