slapd in OpenLDAP 2.0 through 2.0.19 allows local users, and anonymous users before 2.0.8, to conduct a "replace" action on access controls without any values, which causes OpenLDAP to delete non-mandatory attributes that would otherwise be protected by ACLs.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects old OpenLDAP slapd 2.0 releases. A permitted user, and in older releases an anonymous user, could trigger an access-control replace operation that deletes protected non-mandatory directory attributes. The main business risk is unauthorized loss or weakening of LDAP directory data integrity in legacy systems. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems still running OpenLDAP 2.0.x or old vendor packages from 2002-era distributions. Internet-facing LDAP, shared Unix infrastructure, and applications relying on LDAP attribute integrity deserve priority review. Treat this as a legacy-exposure cleanup item with real integrity impact. It is not KEV-listed and lacks current exploitation evidence, but any affected LDAP server may support authentication, authorization, or business directory workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory LDAP servers and identify any OpenLDAP 2.0 through 2.0.19 deployments.; Apply vendor-supported OpenLDAP updates referenced by the relevant distribution advisory.; Retire or isolate unsupported OpenLDAP 2.0.x systems if updates are unavailable..
