RFC 2251, 4.5.1. (emphasis added)
If the dnAttributes field is set to TRUE, the match is
applied against >>ALL THE ATTRIBUTES<< in an entry's distinguished name
>>AS WELL<<, and also evaluates to TRUE if there is at least one
attribute in the distinguished name for which the filter item
evaluates to TRUE.
