CVE-2018-20245: LDAP auth backend did not validate SSL certificate for Apache Airflow <= 1.10.0

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected: <= 1.10.0

Description:
The LDAP auth backend (airflow.contrib.auth.backends.ldap_auth) was misconfigured and contained improper checking of exceptions which disabled server certificate checking.

Apache Airflow 1.10.1+ now only supports TLS connections and does not support insecure connections to LDAP servers any more. (Self-signed certificates are allowed if you pass in the expected server certificate as the "cacert" option under the "[ldap]" section of the config.)
