Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Description Dmitri Pal 2013-04-30 13:25:25 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/117

Bind-dyndb-ldap violates [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2181#section-8|RFC 2181 section 8]]: TTL values > 2^31^-1 are not truncated to 0 as the standard prescribes.

The problem: Records with `dnsTTL` attribute TTL > 2147483647 are sent to clients with TTL value outside allowed range:
{{{
test.example.com.	2147483648 IN	A	192.0.2.55
}}}

All values higher than 2147483647 should be truncated to 0:
{{{
test.example.com.	0          IN	A	192.0.2.55
}}}

Please provide steps to help verify this

Comment 3 Petr Spacek 2013-05-02 08:44:59 UTC
According to the description in the upstream ticket:
Create a DNS record with TTL value > 2147483647 and then 'dig' for the new record.

Some IPA versions do not allow you to create such record, but you can create ordinary record and then use ldapmodify do to raise the TTL value.

Comment 4 Petr Spacek 2013-05-21 11:44:36 UTC
Fixed upstream by commit ccc439e5a5d8d2e0e6dbcb85351f48c501fdad03.
