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 Renaud Métrich 2019-10-15 11:07:41 UTC
Description of problem:

A customer experiences DNF command aborting with SIGABRT while libdnf tries to handle the "freeradius" DNF module.
The libdnf code throws a NoModuleException exception which is not caught.

This happens 100% of the time on his system when executing "/usr/bin/dnf update --security".

We hit line 1001. From my understanding, nobody catches the exception so it goes through main, causing the SIGABRT to be raised and a coredump to be created.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf-4.0.9.2-5.el8
libdnf-0.22.5-5.el8_0


How reproducible:

Always on customer system, never on my test system

Additional info:

The customer doesn't use the standard repos, but his own. It is likely related but I don't have more informations for now.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Mracek 2019-10-25 09:33:31 UTC
Due to limited amount of information and missing reproducer I have limited possibilities how to provide tested solution. I have a patch (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/828) that should prevents the problem. I can provide rhel8 builds (dnf/libdnf/...) for testing purpose if there will be an interest. Is something more what I can do?
