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).

Created attachment 1078997 [details]
C Prgram for reproducing crash

Prepare new service in /etc/pam.d

[root@host ~]# cat /etc/pam.d/ipsilon_ecp 
auth    required   pam_sss.so
account required   pam_sss.so

Compile attached reproducer.
gcc sssd_pam_crash_reproducer.c -o sssd_pam_crash_reproducer -lpam

Expected result:
The pam responder (ssss_pam) should not crash
Comment 2 Lukas Slebodnik 2015-10-01 13:19:54 UTC 
It is reproducible only in case if pam preauth is available.

So you need to test with ipa provider

Comment 6 Nikhil Dehadrai 2015-10-12 12:23:29 UTC 
IPA Server/Client: ipa-server-4.2.0-12.el7.x86_64, ipa-client-4.2.0-12.el7.x86_64
RHEL: 7.2

Tested the bug with following Scenarios:

Scenario A) For sssd-1.13.0-36.el7.x86_64 (Used to reproduce the issue)
observations:
1) Create /etc/pam.d/ipsilon_ecp with paramters:
	auth    required   pam_sss.so
	account required   pam_sss.so
2) Notice the sssd_pam process id, using ps -elf | grep sssd
	(In my case)
	4 S root      2580  2549  0  80   0 - 59732 ep_pol 16:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam --uid 0 --gid 0 --debug-to-files
3) Now run the GCC compiler for the attached C program
	gcc sssd_pam_crash_reproducer.c -o sssd_pam_crash_reproducer -lpam
4) Execute ./sssd_pam_crash_reproducer
5) Noticed the id for sssd_pam is changed:
	4 S root      2620  2549  0  80   0 - 59732 ep_pol 17:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam --uid 0 --gid 0 --debug-to-files
6) Also, following error message is noticed under /var/log/messages:
	Oct 12 17:01:08 <ipa-server> kernel: sssd_pam[2580]: segfault at 10 ip 00007f0f11409730 sp 00007ffc27d5e490 error 4 in sssd_pam[7f0f11400000+20000]
	Oct 12 17:01:08 <ipa-server> sssd[pam]: Starting up


Scenario B) For sssd-1.13.0-39.el7.x86_64, (On the same system, upgraded the sssd to latest version and Used this to verify fix for the issue)
observations:
1) Notice the sssd_pam process id, using ps -elf | grep sssd
	(In my case)
	4 S root      2702  2698  0  80   0 - 59760 ep_pol 17:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam --uid 0 --gid 0 --debug-to-files
2) Now run the GCC compiler for the attached C program
	gcc sssd_pam_crash_reproducer.c -o sssd_pam_crash_reproducer -lpam
3) Execute ./sssd_pam_crash_reproducer, following message is returned which is expected. (As per discussion with dev Team)
	testing pam_authenticate
	pam_authenticate: Insufficient credentials to access authentication data
4) Noticed the id for sssd_pam is NOT changed:
	4 S root      2702  2698  0  80   0 - 59760 ep_pol 17:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/sssd/sssd_pam --uid 0 --gid 0 --debug-to-files
5) Also, NO error message is noticed under /var/log/messages:
	
Thus on the basis of above observations in Scenario A) and Scenario B), marking the status of bug as "VERIFIED".
