## Description

The acllas\_\_handle\_group\_entry function in servers/plugins/acl/acllas.c in
389 Directory Server before 1.2.10 does not properly handled access control
instructions (ACIs) that use certificate groups, which allows remote
authenticated LDAP users with a certificate group to cause a denial of
service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) by binding to the server.
