Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Connectionless LDAP (ie: cldap enabled with -DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS) is broken for IPv6 for current versions of openldap. Tested with version 2.4.35

It's not clear if this ever worked properly.

Connections immediately fail with:

ldap_search_ext: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

The reason for this is that the LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS buffers include a prefix containing an address in a "struct sockaddr". However, struct sockaddr, is not a concrete type. In particular struct sockaddr_in6 is longer than struct sockaddr.

Noted here: http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=blob;f=libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c;h=d997e92910954b943e5b3fe7139ff4caaeaf49bf;hb=HEAD#l886

So this leads to failures when using IPv6 as the code assumes that the address length is equal to sizeof (struct sockaddr). Seen here:

http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=blob;f=libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c;h=d997e92910954b943e5b3fe7139ff4caaeaf49bf;hb=HEAD#l940

Example command:

$ ldapsearch -d -1 -LL -H 'cldap://[2620:52:0:2223::1:1]' -b '' -s base '(&(DnsDomain=ad.baseos.qe)(NtVer=\06\00\00\00))' NetLogon

Output will contain this:

ldap_write: want=96 error=Invalid argument

Which is the EINVAL resulting from bad value passed to sendto().

Patch for openldap 2.4.35

I'm quite reluctant to apply this patch without it being upstreamed first.

The fixes have landed in upstream git.

Fix pushed to 'private-jsynacek-rhel-7-cldap-fix'.
