Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #733103 +++
For example, an aci like this:
aci: (targetattr = "physicalDeliveryOfficeName || homePhone || preferredDeliveryMethod || jpegPhoto || nsAIMid || mozillaHomeCountryName || audio || internationaliSDNNumber || postalAddress || roomNumber || mozillaWorkStreet2 || givenName || mozillaSecondEmail || userPKCS12 || userPassword || teletexTerminalIdentifier || mobile || manager || objectClass || userSMIMECertificate || mozillaHomeStreet || destinationIndicator || telexNumber || employeeNumber || secretary || uid || userCertificate || st || mozillaCustom4 || mozillaCustom3 || mozillaCustom2 || mozillaCustom1 || description || mozillaHomePostalCode || mail || labeledUri || businessCategory || x500UniqueIdentifier || ou || seeAlso || photo || mozillaNickname || mozillaHomeLocalityName || shadowLastChange || title || street || departmentNumber || mozillaHomeStreet2 || mozillaUseHtmlMail || mozillaHomeState || o || cn || l || initials || telephoneNumber || mozillaHomeUrl || x121Address") (version 3.0; acl "Authenticated user self access"; allow (read,compare,search,write)(userdn = "ldap:///self");)
where one or more of the attributes in the targetattr list are not defined, and the list contains more than 5 elements.
Adding this aci will cause the server to either crash or hang.

commit 91c6799b07ca48bce85482136ceb244b484fc91b
Author: Rich Megginson <rmeggins>

Branch: master
Fix Description: If we need to realloc the list to hold more target attributes,
the list is not NULL terminated. If there are syntax errors in the aci, the
function returns with an unterminated list, and this will either cause the
loop in the free code to go off the end of the list or crash with a segfault.
The fix is to make sure the list is always NULL terminated.
Platforms tested: RHEL6 x86_64
