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 Steve Dickson 2012-02-24 01:01:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Using the -o krbp mount which ensure encrypting 
every RPC request fails against an Microsoft 8 NFS
server.The reason being the client does not rotate 
the encryption properly. The broken code is:

/*
 * We cannot currently handle tokens with rotated data.  We need a
 * generalized routine to rotate the data in place.  It is anticipated
 * that we won't encounter rotated data in the general case.
 */
static u32
rotate_left(struct krb5_ctx *kctx, u32 offset, struct xdr_buf *buf, u16 rrc)
{
    unsigned int realrrc = rrc % (buf->len - offset - GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN);

    if (realrrc == 0)
        return 0;

    dprintk("%s: cannot process token with rotated data: "
        "rrc %u, realrrc %u\n", __func__, rrc, realrrc);
    return 1;
}

The debug message can be seen by enable debug with
   rpcdebug -m rpc -s auth
