Description Sergio Pascual 2008-11-08 16:14:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
A call to
ldap.get_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE)
crashes the python interpreter

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.5.1-26
python-ldap-2.3.1-3


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ python -c 'import ldap;ldap.get_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE)'
  
Actual results:
python: Objects/stringobject.c:107: PyString_FromString: Assertion `str != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

Expected results:
A string, something that doesn't break the python interpreter
Comment 1 Sergio Pascual 2008-11-08 16:23:47 UTC 
ldap.OPT_X_TLS_KEYFILE breaks also the interpreter with the same message.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-11-08 16:25:02 UTC 
Looks like this was fixed in a later release:

  Released 2.3.4 2008-03-29

  Changes since 2.3.3:

  Modules/
  * Fixed seg fault when calling LDAPObject.get_option()
    (see SF#1926507, thanks to Matej)

Current version in Fedora 10 is 2.3.5.
Would you prefer I backport it to Fedora 9?
Comment 3 Sergio Pascual 2008-11-08 16:38:13 UTC 
I found this when experimenting with ldap auth in Moin. I don't use python-ldap frequently and probably I will upgrade to F10, so I think it's ok if you leave it as it is.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2008-11-08 17:20:41 UTC 
Okay, I'll close this then and wait to backport until there's demand.
