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 of problem:
A race condition in the tevent threaded code can cause tevent_common_wakeup_fd(tctx->wakeup_fd) to be called where wakeup_fd is being read out of reused memory unprotected by mutex lock (tctx may no longer exist).

If the reused memory happens to point to a wakeup_fd value that matches a file descriptor in use by smbd to write to a on-disk file, file corruption will result.

This bug is for Samba more important than a security release because it can corrupt on disk data we try to avoid in any circumstance!

I don't think so or there would be one in the upstream testsuite.

Just with regression testing.

verified with  sssd-1.16.0-9.el7.x86_64 
No error/failures found from regression runs

Run the tevent test suite. I think it is part of the RPM build ...
