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 Amita Sharma 2011-05-02 07:54:05 UTC
Steps to reproduce:


1) find or create an attribute which has an ORDERING matching rule
(and not via inheritance - that's another bug)

ldapmodify -x -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w ggg -v <<
EOF
dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: attributetypes
attributeTypes: (1.3.6.1.4.1.34217.1.1.1.2.6 NAME
'nzCoSkyReceiveMarketingNewsLetter' DESC 'Whether the user opts to receive SKY
TV news letters' EQUALITY booleanMatch ORDERING booleanMatch SYNTAX
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE)

add attributeTypes:
(1.3.6.1.4.1.34217.1.1.1.2.6 NAME 'nzCoSkyReceiveMarketingNewsLetter' DESC
'Whether the user opts to receive SKY TV news letters' EQUALITY booleanMatch
ORDERING booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE)
modifying entry "cn=schema"
modify complete

2) add or change the index for the attribute to have an nsMatchingRule
with one of the l10n matching rules defined by the collation plugin
e.g. 2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.11.1 for en or en-US
[root@rheltest slapd-rheltest]# ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w
ggg -p 1389 -h localhost << EOF
>  dn: cn=nzCoSkyReceiveMarketingNewsletter,cn=index,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm
>  database,cn=plugins,cn=config
>  changetype: add
>  objectClass: top
>  objectClass: nsIndex
>  cn:nzCoSkyReceiveMarketingNewsletter
>  nsSystemIndex:false
>  nsIndexType:eq
>  nsMatchingRule: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.6.1
>  nsMatchingRule: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.11.1
>  EOF
ldapmodify: invalid format (line 2) entry:
"cn=nzCoSkyReceiveMarketingNewsletter,cn=index,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm"
Segmentation fault (core dumped) 

Note: The dn: .. line must be all one line.  It looks like the line ends at cn=ldbm and a new line begins at database,. 
But still it should not be a Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Comment 1 Rich Megginson 2011-05-02 14:43:43 UTC
looks like the problem is if the dn: line continues but does not begin with a space char (as in proper LDIF continuation line wrapping) ldapmodify will crash.
