The Apache Directory Project has announced the release of version 2.1.7 of their Apache Directory LDAP API. Changes in this version appear to include:
- Fixed an ASN.1 parsing issue that could cause the API to attempt to consume very large amounts of memory
- Fixed an issue in which attempting to parse a malformed LDAP URL could cause an infinite loop
- Fixed a potential resource leak in DSML support
- Fixed an unhandled exception when attempting to parse malformed ASN.1 elements
- Fixed an unhandled exception when attempting to parse malformed LDAP URLs
- Updated connection pool behavior so that when closing a connection retrieved from a pool, that connection is released back to the pool
- Added support for the name with entryUUID request control
