I've done about as much as I can on this now. We need some customer testing. Created attachment 300078 [details]
Patch to initialize sasl callbacks unconditionally on autofs LDAP library load
Setting bug back to assigned and blocker=?. An issue with the change for this bug has been reported upstream and in Fedora bug 438120. The upstream reporter tested the patch above and verified that it fixed the problem. Unfortunately, the reporter of 438120 has not responded but I believe I understand the source of the problem. When the autofs LDAP lookup shared library is dlopened and subsequently dlclosed the library may not actually be unloaded prior to the next dlopen. If it also happens that the dependent SASL library is unloaded between this dlcose and the following dlopen the sasl library callback functions are not initialized since the autofs LDAP lookup library thinks this has already been done (the library data segment still exists). If the situation above happens a SEGV occurs when the SASL library tries to use the callback functions. Part of the changes made for the implementation of this bug require that autofs be sensitive to configuration changes and consequently the autofs LDAP lookup library can be closed and re-opened as part of this process which leads to the situation described above. Ian Correction committed and package built. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0354.html |
