Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Comment 2 Noriko Hosoi 2016-10-21 20:03:51 UTC
Compiler warnings
1. warning: dereferencing pointer 'iterator.302' does break strict-aliasing rules
and
Build warnings 1 and 2
are pointing the same issue. That is a bug in gcc-4 on RHEL6.
Reasoning: the same code is found in 389-ds-base.1.3.5 branch but gcc-5 on RHEL7 does not report the warning.

CLANG_WARNING is false positive. NSSVersionMax is read in the same function slapd_ssl_init2, again. The read happens in the next #if !defined(NSS_TLS10) section. Most likely, coverity failed to detect it(?)

Thus, the real issue is just "Compiler warnings 2".
