Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Spring LDAP (org.springframework.ldap:spring-ldap-core) versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.4, 3.2.0 through 3.2.17, 3.3.0 through 3.3.7, and 4.0.0 through 4.0.3 do not reject a bind request that pairs a non-empty username with an empty or null password. An attacker who can send such a bind request may be able to authenticate without a valid password. Upgrade to 4.0.4 or 3.3.8, or to a later release in the same line.
