Florian Weimer 2020-05-27 15:17:01 UTC Doc Text Cause: The nss_compat module overwrites the errno status with other spurious error codes during processing of password and group entries.

Consequence: Password and group lookups can fail because the expected buffer resizing does not happen.

Fix: nss_compat avoids overwriting critical errno values with other status codes during password and group lookups.

Result: Resizing of the response buffer for password and group lookups works, and lookups suceed as expected.

.Password and group lookups no longer fail in `glibc`

Previously, the `nss_compat` module of the `glibc` library overwrote the `errno` status with incorrect error codes during processing of password and group entries. As a consequence, expected buffer resizing did not happen, causing password and group lookups to fail. This update fixes the problem, and the lookups now complete as expected.

Previously, the `nss_compat` module of the `glibc` library overwrote the `errno` status with incorrect error codes during processing of password and group entries. Consequently, applications did not resize buffers as expected, causing password and group lookups to fail. This update fixes the problem, and the lookups now complete as expected.
