Maybe something like this should be to [Protocol] section 4.1.11 (Controls) or 6 (Security Considerations): The Bind requests in a multi-step SASL Bind can have different sets of controls. So can multiple LDAP messages returned in response to a single LDAP request. Such control combinations over multiple LDAPMessages may be inconsistent. Protocol peers may need to verify that they make sense instead of just trusting the controls of some of the received LDAPMessages. At least I imagine one could attack a sloppy server or client by sending such inconsistent control combinations, though I can't come up with a concrete example at the moment. -- Hallvard
