samba3x-3.6.23-13.el5_11
samba3x-common-3.6.23-13.el5_11

How reproducible:

1. valgrind report confirms leaks.
==00:00:00:01.825 6593== LEAK SUMMARY:
==00:00:00:01.825 6593==    definitely lost: 24 bytes in 1 blocks
==00:00:00:01.825 6593==    indirectly lost: 260 bytes in 14 blocks
==00:00:00:01.825 6593==      possibly lost: 9,527 bytes in 96 blocks
==00:00:00:01.825 6593==    still reachable: 3,968 bytes in 82 blocks
==00:00:00:01.825 6593==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
2. Also ps command shows "winbind" memory consumption increased over the time.

Looking for fix or backport of fix from newer samba.

Comment 10 Andreas Schneider 2017-03-10 10:23:03 UTC
We need valgrind logs with debuginfo packages installed. samba-debuginfo, libtalloc-debuginfo, libtevent-debuginfo, libtdb-debuginfo ...

Stop winbind and then use:

valgrind --tool=memcheck -v --num-callers=20 --trace-children=yes --log-file=/var
/log/winbind-memcheck-%p.log /usr/sbin/winbindd

valgrind test

Comment 14 Andreas Schneider 2017-03-29 12:58:06 UTC
I'm sorry, but the valgrind log has been created without samba3x-debuginfo packages installed so the information I get are very limited.

However the only issue I see is inside of the openldap library which calls close() on an -1 fd.

Also I see only the log from one winbind process. Winbind normally has more than two processes.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 shipped it's last minor release, 5.11, on September 14th, 2014. On March 31st, 2017 RHEL 5 exited Production Phase 3 and entered Extended Life Phase. For RHEL releases in the Extended Life Phase, Red Hat  will provide limited ongoing technical support. No bug fixes, security fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis will be available during this phase, and support will be provided on existing installations only.  If the customer purchases the Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS), certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release will be provided.  For more details please consult the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle Page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

This BZ does not appear to meet ELS criteria so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for your environment and you have an Extended Life-cycle Support Add-on entitlement, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com ,provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration of an errata. Please note, only certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release can be considered.
