"access" writing via back-config uses the underlying parse_acl() calls; this may
result in calling exit() in case of syntax error.  This is not a security issue
per se, although it may lead to DoS, because access writing needs rootdn
credentials for the config database.  I suspect similar issues may exist when
parsing other legacy data.
