Apache Directory LDAP API 2.1.7

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
