Details
It was discovered that OpenLDAP incorrectly handled certain SQL statements
within LDAP queries in the experimental back-sql backend. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to perform an SQL injection attack and alter
the database.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
