[Pkg-openldap-devel] planning another jessie upload

Hi,

I've tested the patches for #776988 and #776991 and intend to ask the 
release team for approval to upload them, with the justification that 
it's easy for an unauthenticated remote user to cause slapd to crash. 
(Not even read access is needed.) #776988 only affects deref (not 
enabled by default), but I don't know of a configuration that can 
mitigate #776991. Any comments on these?

Is anyone aware of other patches that should go into jessie? I looked 
through the git log since 2.4.40 but didn't see anything that I thought 
I could explain well enough to justify (or, for that matter, generate a 
test case); ITS#8036, ITS#7970 for example. Hopefully it's sufficient if 
the next release goes into jessie-backports later.

thanks,
Ryan
