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.

Comment 6 mreynolds 2018-08-17 20:03:12 UTC 
I can not reproduce the issue.  I can get the error to be logged by adding an entry with a really large DN:

[17/Aug/2018:15:56:33.905658222 -0400]  - EMERG - Insufficent buffer capacity to fit timestamp and message!

But no crash.  The core dump shows the error log FD is corrupted and trying to write to it fails, but I don't know how that happened.   I think this is a case where we need valgrind or an ASAN build to make any progress on this.
Comment 15 Viktor Ashirov 2018-08-30 13:00:56 UTC 
Build tested: 389-ds-base-1.3.8.4-12.el7.x86_64

Reproducer from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614820#c7 no longer crashes the server, error messages are formatted correctly:

[30/Aug/2018:12:59:44.570829721 +0000]  - EMERG - Insufficent buffer capacity to fit timestamp and message!
[30/Aug/2018:12:59:44.593972036 +0000]  - EMERG - Insufficent buffer capacity to fit timestamp and message!
[30/Aug/2018:12:59:44.610915031 +0000]  - EMERG - Insufficent buffer capacity to fit timestamp and message!

Marking as VERIFIED.
