Two issues have been found in ldb, an LDAP-like embedded database, for example used with samba.

Both issues are related to out of bounds access, either an out of bound read or a heap corrupton, both most likely leading to an application crash.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.1.20-0+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ldb packages.
