What is the version of SSSD and what kind of directory it uses?
It seems, based on the error message, that LDAP server supplies a deref
control that SSSD fails to parse. Is there something special in your
LDAP server or something changed recently?
LDAP search might work OK because it does not try to process the control.

Is this an issue that suddenly started to happen or it just does not
work out of box?
In either cases the reason for this is most likely on the server side.
Is there any way to get more info from the server side about what kind
of control was actually sent?
