Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 454857
db-4 in openldap needs new patches
Last modified: 2009-01-20 15:53:45 EST
Description of problem: We shop openldap-servers with it's own version of Berkeley DB. Currently we ship ver. db-4.4.20, with two official patches. Upstream released additional two patches, improving the stability of the database. We should apply these patches to prevent database corruption. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/db/update/4.4.20/patch.4.4.20.html for description - we ship the first two, I'd like to add the later ones. There is no reproducer. The database gets corrupted in very specific conditions only - see the patch description.
