| Doc Text: |
* the approach used by the nss_ldap module to parse group memberships led to heap corruption and a segmentation fault when resolving group membership information for a user in a nested group (that is, if groups to which the user belonged themselves belonged to other groups). This update backports improved parsing code that allows nss_ldap to handle nested groups successfully.
