 ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided.
 Fixed bugs:
 * Previously, the deref plug-in failed to dereference attributes that use distinguished name (DN) syntax, such as uniqueMember. With this patch, the deref plug-in can dereference such attributes and additionally Name and Optional UID syntax. As a result, the deref plug-in now supports any syntax.
