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 Dmitri Pal 2010-10-06 12:55:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #640597 +++

Description of problem:

sssd is not escaping correctly LDAP searches, and when it receives an error from the LDAP server is going offline

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

sssd-1.2.1-27.el5

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

I noticed that sssd in some of our servers was going offline with no apparent reason, so bumping up the debug_level I found this in the logs:

(Wed Oct  6 07:27:09 2010) [sssd[be[ALMACARONI]]] [be_get_account_info] (4): Got request for [4097][1][name=hacienda\eladio]
(Wed Oct  6 07:27:09 2010) [sssd[be[ALMACARONI]]] [sdap_get_generic_send] (3): ldap_search_ext failed: Bad search filter
(Wed Oct  6 07:27:09 2010) [sssd[be[ALMACARONI]]] [be_run_offline_cb] (3): Going offline. Running callbacks.

A bit of investigation turned up that the query was initiated by winbind, which was running on the server, so it was a matter of changing the "winbind separator" and restarting winbind and sssd to hide the problem.

Now is evident that this is a bug in SSSD, where it is sufficient that any user queryiing for a username with an '\' in its name to have SSSD going offline.

I reproduced this executing "id hacienda\\eladio"
