CVE-2018-1337: Plaintext Password Disclosure in Secured Channel

The Apache LDAP API 1.0.2 that has just been released fix a critical security issue: A bug in the way the SSL Filter was setup made it possible for another thread to use the connection before the TLS layer has been established, if the connection has already been used and put back in a pool of connections, leading to leaking any information contained in this request (including the credentials when sending a BIND request)

We urge you to switch to this version.
