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.

Description Jeff 2015-09-10 18:58:19 UTC
Description of problem:
pam_fprintd brings in an old pthread library which causes kerberos library failure in trying to obtain a mutex. when that fails, user kerberos cache cannot be created. 

pam_fprintd being in PAM configuration will be loaded. it brings in an older libpthread to resolve its symbol requirements. 

Kerberos library gss_krb5_copy_ccache() call by openssh now fails when it tries to call pthread_mutex_lock(). 

if pam_fprintd is loaded before an aditional authentication module , it loads its old pthread library which emits the same symbol, so our call winds up calling its mutex function which returns error. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.4  pam_fprintd module


removing the fprintd  module from pam stack allows this to function as expected.

How reproducible:

pam_fprintd being in PAM configuration will be loaded. it brings in an older libpthread to resolve its symbol requirements. 

Kerberos library gss_krb5_copy_ccache() call by openssh now fails when it tries to call pthread_mutex_lock(). 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Standard RHEL 6 install
2. Add a kerberos Authentication module into Pam stack AFTER fprintd
3. SSH into the system using SSO and then check for existing TGT. It will not be present.

Actual results:
TGT is not present for use in additional authentication

Expected results:

TGT should be present for use in additional authentication

pam_fprintd uses the system's libpthread, it doesn't have its own libpthread. So I don't really understand how you came to that conclusion.

Comment 3 Jeff 2015-10-12 18:52:15 UTC
The information given that the pam_fprintd uses the system's libpthread on RHEL 6.4 answers our question and we will inspect the problem systems libpthread.

Please consider this request closed at this time.
