Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated nss_ldap package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
[Updated 20 May 2011]
This advisory has been updated with the correct product name (that is, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5) in the Details section. The package included in this revised
update has not been changed in any way from the package included in the original
advisory.
Description
The nss_ldap package contains nss_ldap, a module which allows applications to
retrieve information about users, groups, netgroups, from directory servers, and
pam_ldap, which allows PAM-aware applications to check users passwords with the
aid of a directory server.
This updated nss_ldap package fixes the following bug:
- Previously, if the server closed the connection, the client did not receive
any results and failed with the following error, which was caused by the client
attempting to parse results which it had not received:
ldap_result: Assertion `ld != ((void *)0)' failed.
With this update, the nss_ldap checks if the server is available while running
and finishes with an appropriate error code if the connection fails. (BZ#703831)
All users of nss_ldap are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
