Description Florian Weimer 2018-01-26 10:56:56 UTC
/usr/lib64/sssd/libsss_proxy.so has references to dlsym, dlopen, dlerror, so it needs to be linked with -ldl.  Not doing so risks crashes at run time.

Comment 1 Lukas Slebodnik 2018-01-26 13:23:28 UTC
sssd has quite complicated dependencies and cannot be easily compiled with
-Wl,-z,defs.

I tried to fix as much as possible and this missing fix is part of related PR
https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/502/files#diff-c949f93d03f44a4217d7a138f9e2e54aR3906

BTW we newer noticed the problem because sssd_be is linked with ldl and that binary dynamically open libsss_proxy.so which dynamically open other modules for (pam, nsswitch) based on configuration.

Thank you very much for bug report.
