Summary: Bind dn is getting malformed inside ldap_sasl_bind
function
Product: OpenLDAP

Hi team,
We are using open ldap version 2.6 in one of our application processes.
We are using ldap_sasl_bind function defined in open ldap api to send bind
request to ldap server.
We are passing the dn name to the above function and it is parsing the dn name
as expected.
We have added some print statements inside ldap_sasl_bind function and it is
printing the dn string that we passed to the function.
Also, ldap_sasl_bind function will accept const char pointer to dn as an
argument. So, it cannot modify the dn string inside the function.
But somehow the bind dn is getting malformed and we are getting failed bind
response from the ldap server (invalid DN).
We did some analysis using tcpdump and we found out that the dn string that we
passed to the ldap_sasl_bind function and the dn string from the tcpdump are
different.
We did some code walkthrough of ldap_sasl_bind function and it is observed that
it is doing some ber encoding of dn name inside the function.
We are suspecting that the encoding is not happening properly.
Example dn that we passed to ldap_sasl_bin function: "uid=abc, ou=users,
dc=fds, dc=mr"
Dn name that was captured in tcpdump at source: "uid=abc, o dc= dc= dc= dc=
dc=mr"
Is there any specific reason for the bind DN to get malformed like this inside
ldap_sasl_bind function.
Do you have any observations like this in any scenario. Kindly provide some
inputs to resolve this issue.
