[PATCH] pam_krb5 leaks file descriptor
Last modified: 2008-03-09 23:47:11 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #173681 +++ From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7 SUSE/1.0.7-0.1 Description of problem: When the 'validate' flag is given to pam_krb5 in the PAM configuration, pam_krb5 leaks a file descriptor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam_krb5-2.1.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable validate for pam_krb5 2. Use pam_krb5 in a process that doesn't die after using PAM (like saslauthd) 3. Use lsof to verify that the file descriptor is being leaked Actual Results: One file descriptor is leaked per authentication. Expected Results: No files should be leaked. Additional info: -- Additional comment from dan.colascione@gmail.com on 2005-11-18 16:33 EST -- Created an attachment (id=121256) Fixes file descriptor leak -- Additional comment from nalin@redhat.com on 2005-11-21 17:06 EST -- Note to self: the file handle is stored in the krb5_keytab structure, and the call to krb5_verify_init_creds overwrites the one we're using when it creates its own cursor.
