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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When SSSD created a selinux login file, it errnously kept file descriptor of this file opened. Consequence: Number of file descriptor used by SSSD increased every time a user logged in. Fix: SSSD closes the file descriptor when it is not needed anymore. Result: File descriptor is not leaked.

Description Jakub Hrozek 2012-11-01 19:28:38 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1619

We don't close the fd when we write the selinux login file in the pam responder. This results in a fd leak.
Comment 1 Jakub Hrozek 2012-11-01 19:33:41 UTC 
To reproduce:

1. lsof -p $(pidof sssd_pam) | grep selinux
2. login as a user
3. lsof -p $(pidof sssd_pam) | grep selinux

Expected results:
The number stays the same

Actual results:
The file stays open
Comment 3 Jakub Hrozek 2012-11-01 23:07:49 UTC

Load Applied:
-I yum upgraded my test environment with the fixes Jakub submitted and the issue immediately disappeared in the next system test run.

-The test environment has been subjected to tests that previously triggered the defect.  The test load is running through runtime ssh/sudo multi-thread load, cycling through 10k ipa users.  Load simulating 10 concurrent simulated users 24/7 while applying light administration work via cli and UI. Over 6+ days consisting of pos/neg ssh/sudo use cases were applied against the test environment.  The UI admin load use case was to add/delete sudo rules from each Ipa Server simultaneously each day.

Observations:
-I'm not seeing the reported symptoms/results described in this defect. Not able to reproduced, this is a good thing.
