RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Benjamin Coddington 2016-02-29 22:37:27 UTC
This one popped up on my RHEL6.8 machine testing a krb5 mount at cthon:

rpc.gssd[4484]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f180fd10566 sp 00007fff0506adb8 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[7f180fbe8000+18a000]

Turns out my /etc/krb.keytab file had the wrong selinux context:

[root@redhat68 ~]# ls -laZ /etc/krb5.keytab
-r--r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0       /etc/krb5.keytab

This has fixed it:

[root@redhat68 ~]# restorecon -v /etc/krb5.keytab
restorecon reset /etc/krb5.keytab context system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0->system_u:object_r:krb5_keytab_t:s0

The root problem looks like a reuse of the variable "i" in an inner loop in find_keytab_entry()..

*** Bug 1346419 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 10 Dave Wysochanski 2016-06-21 14:30:51 UTC
Did not make 6.8.  Talked with Scott - we should z-stream this in RHEL6.8.z due to it being a regression.

Comment 17 Yongcheng Yang 2016-11-01 07:37:44 UTC
Moving to VERIFIED according to Comment #16.

Also include this automatic case as regression test in the future.
