This bug has been copied from bug #444086 and has been proposed to be backported to 4.7 z-stream (EUS).
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: * 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.
