    Summary: Liferay Portal and Liferay DXP fails to properly import users from LDAP

    Details: Security LDAP Implementation before 2.0.16 from Liferay Portal through v7.2.1 and Liferay DXP through v7.2 does not correctly import users from LDAP, allowing remote attackers to prevent a legitimate user from authenticating by attempting to sign in as a user that exists in LDAP.
