Critical Buffer Overflow in LDAP Module: How sprintf Almost Broke Everything

A critical buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered and patched in an LDAP module where the use of `sprintf` without bounds checking allowed attacker-controlled input to overflow a stack buffer during hex-escape processing. This type of vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or full system compromise, making it one of the most dangerous classes of bugs in systems programming. The fix replaces the unchecked `sprintf` call with a bounds-aware alternative, closin
