The RHTS test for bz195679 has uncovered a bug in autofs version 5 for lookups of keys that are exactly the maximum length allowed. This length is 255 and is defined in kernel include files and is used in the definition of the autofs kernel request packet. The test, bz195679, itself creates a test map with a key greater than 255 characters and so needs to be corrected to create a key of exactly 255 characters to test for this bug. Since bug 195679 concerns map entries (key plus mount target) greater than 255 characters the test will continue to verify the original issue. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression. Since no regressions are allowed between releases, it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release. Please resolve ASAP. A correction for this issue has been included in autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.68 and later. The rhts test bugzillas/bz195679 within the autofs workflow has been updated and can be used to verify this bug. 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 |
