the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

The error in question says "Couldn't acquire kerberos ticket: 'Illegal argument'" and the whole bug somehow related with connection changes and/or suspend, when the credentials expired on the same network, the error didn't occur.
I finally found when this occurs: when the DNS return NXDOMAIN or non-A/non-AAAA records for kerberos servers. krb5-auth-dialog then pops up error window with "Invalid argument" message, or it crashes right away with backtrace above.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:
http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle
This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:

Created attachment 612105 [details] backtrace by abrt Description of problem: krb5-auth-dialog started to throw some error when I click its icon after the credentials expired (not reported yet). When I try to "Remove credentials cache", the dialog segfaults. I use these debugging variables on my system: export MALLOC_CHECK_=1 export MALLOC_PERTURB_=$(($RANDOM % 255 + 1)) export G_SLICE=always-malloc,debug-blocks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa '*krb5*' krb5-devel-1.9-33.el6_3.2.x86_64 krb5-auth-dialog-0.13-3.el6.x86_64 krb5-libs-1.9-33.el6_3.2.x86_64 krb5-auth-dialog-debuginfo-0.13-3.el6.x86_64 krb5-debuginfo-1.9-33.el6_3.2.x86_64 krb5-workstation-1.9-33.el6_3.2.x86_64 pam_krb5-2.3.11-9.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: often (didn't have enough attempts to say "always") Steps to Reproduce: 1. wait for tickets expiry 2. try to remove them by right-click -> remove credentials cache 3. Actual results: segfault Expected results: krb5-auth-dialog removes tickets successfully Additional info: /var/log/messages: Sep 11 10:05:17 dhcp-29-7 kernel: krb5-auth-dialo[25600] general protection ip:3ee8c26170 sp:7fff0ed82c90 error:0 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5[3ee8c00000+43000] ...
