--- Comment #12 from Howard Chu hyc@openldap.org --- (In reply to Michael Ströder from comment #9)
Thinking about this some more: It also seems to have pretty large security impact for all systems/components relying on index attributes for access control decisions, probably also slapd processing ACLs, slapo-unique, slapo-constraint.
ACL evaluation performs no search operations; it only compares a filter against the entry currently being checked. There is no security impact from this.
IMO it would be worth a public warning via openldap-announce list.
