      "value": "python-ldap is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) client API for Python. In versions prior to 3.4.5, ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() escapes \\x00 incorrectly by emitting a backslash followed by a literal NUL byte instead of the RFC-4514 hex form \\00. Any application that uses this helper to construct DNs from untrusted input can be made to consistently fail before a request is sent to the LDAP server (e.g., AD), resulting in a client-side denial of service. Version 3.4.5 contains a patch for the issue."

      "value": "python-ldap es una API cliente de protocolo ligero de acceso a directorios (LDAP) para Python. En versiones anteriores a la 3.4.5, ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() escapa \\x00 incorrectamente al emitir una barra invertida seguida de un byte NUL literal en lugar de la forma hexadecimal RFC-4514 \\00. Cualquier aplicación que utilice esta función auxiliar para construir DNs a partir de entradas no confiables puede hacerse que falle consistentemente antes de que se envíe una solicitud al servidor LDAP (p. ej., AD), lo que resulta en una denegación de servicio del lado del cliente. La versión 3.4.5 contiene un parche para el problema."
