Subject: autofs-ldap: does not properly escape ldap lookups
Package: autofs-ldap
Version: 4.1.4-13
Severity: normal

We have /home as an automounter map from LDAP. In /etc/nsswitch.conf:
  automount:      ldap
Output from /usr/lib/autofs/autofs-ldap-auto-master:
  /home ldap:ou=auto.home,ou=automounter,dc=**,dc=**
  /project ldap:ou=auto.project,ou=automounter,dc=**,dc=**
In /etc/default/autofs:
  daemonoptions="--ghost"

This shows a properly populated /home with all users. However when I do:
  % cd /home
  % ls -l | grep 'a\*'
  [empty]
  % ls -ld 'a*'
  drwxr-x--x 99 arthur consul 8192 2008-02-11 12:51 a*/
  [at this point /home/a* is created and /home/arthur is mounted]

In other words lookups of entries inside the automounter map are not
properly escaped. It looks like a search of (cn=a*) is performed instead
of (cn=a\2a). This results in strange enties that appear. This in turn
could confuse other applications.
