OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol) applications and development tools.

Multiple flaws were discovered in the way the slapd daemon handled modify
relative distinguished name (modrdn) requests. An authenticated user with
privileges to perform modrdn operations could use these flaws to crash the
slapd daemon via specially-crafted modrdn requests. (CVE-2010-0211,
