Comment 2 Alexander Bokovoy 2013-06-06 16:48:27 UTC
There is regression in libbsd that caused this issue. Please downgrade and see https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10062/libbsd-0.5.1-1.fc19

Comment 3 Eric Smith 2013-06-06 17:18:28 UTC
I'll try to find the problem in libbsd. In the mean time I've unpushed the update.

Thanks for providing the detailed instructions to reproduce the problem. I've tried it, and I get a failure before the one you describe, at step 6 of "Configuring Kerberos KDC":

Configuring Kerberos KDC (krb5kdc): Estimated time 30 seconds
  [1/10]: adding sasl mappings to the directory
  [2/10]: adding kerberos container to the directory
  [3/10]: configuring KDC
  [4/10]: initialize kerberos container
Failed to initialize the realm container
  [5/10]: adding default ACIs
  [6/10]: creating a keytab for the directory
Unexpected error - see /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for details:
CalledProcessError: Command 'kadmin.local -q addprinc -randkey ldap/ipa.z00.us -x ipa-setup-override-restrictions' returned non-zero exit status 1

This is probably some sort of operator error on my part, but I'm not sure how to resolve it, so any advice will be appreciated.

ipaserver-install.log showing failure at step 6 of KDC setup

I think this is probably not actually related to this bug, but I need to know how to get past this in order to reproduce the actual problem in libbsd-0.5.1.

Comment 5 Rob Crittenden 2013-06-06 17:27:11 UTC
The failure occurs when krb5_util is run. It segfaults when creating the Kerberos database which then causes kadmin.local to fail later. We should probably be catching this failure in the IPA installer so it fails at the right place (the "Failed to initialize realm container" message above.

The only way we've been able to get past this failure so far is to downgrade libbsd to 0.4.

Comment 6 Eric Smith 2013-06-06 17:33:25 UTC
I understand that, but following the given instructions doesn't even get me that far.  I get a failure at step 6 of KDC setup, not step 10.  That's why I was requesting info on how to get past that.

Comment 7 Dean Hunter 2013-06-06 17:37:42 UTC
The error does not occur in step 10. As Rob noted there is a bug in ipa-server-install such that it does not stop when the failure occurs in step 4 or perhaps even earlier.

Comment 8 Eric Smith 2013-06-06 17:46:26 UTC
I don't understand why the output you included from the command shows steps up through 10, while the output I get stops at 6 with a different error reported.

Comment 9 Dean Hunter 2013-06-06 17:52:28 UTC
I do not understand either. But the error I am reporting is in step 4.

Comment 10 Alexander Bokovoy 2013-06-06 19:18:37 UTC
Eric, I think we found the issue.

IPA KDB driver is linked against Samba libraries. These libraries, in turn, are linked against Samba's internal library that provides replacement for functions known to be broken or not implemented on the platform. Some code in that library (libreplace) uses libbsd.

libbsd 0.5.1 has setproctitle() replacement. The code in src/setproctitle.c sets up spt_init() as a constructor that is called on library initialization.

spt_init() calls internally environ handling code, to copy it. spt_copyenv() calls to spt_clearenv(). spt_clearenv() calls system-provided clearenv() if that is there.

Here is where the problem comes. Glibc's clearenv() frees environment memory if that was allocated by the glibc (as in our case). It also always returns 0. Any allocation for the new environment will happen at first setenv() call.

At this point spt_copyenv() attempts to access memory which was freed by Glibc's clearenv() and may or may not crash. For Nalin under valgrind it crashed, so we've got following backtrace (I'm cutting down to interesting parts):

#0  __strchr_sse2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/strchr.S:32
#1  0x00007fffec389cdb in spt_copyenv (oldenv=0x55555577ec10)

    argc=8, l=<optimized out>) at dl-init.c:82
#4  _dl_init (main_map=main_map@entry=0x5555557baac0, argc=8, 
    argv=0x7fffffffe448, env=0x55555577ec10) at dl-init.c:131
#5  0x00007ffff7defb04 in dl_open_worker (a=a@entry=0x7fffffffda98)

    objname=objname@entry=0x7fffffffda88, 
    errstring=errstring@entry=0x7fffffffda90, 
    mallocedp=mallocedp@entry=0x7fffffffda80, 
    operate=operate@entry=0x7ffff7def770 <dl_open_worker>, 
    args=args@entry=0x7fffffffda98) at dl-error.c:177
#7  0x00007ffff7def21b in _dl_open (
    file=0x5555557baa40 "/usr/lib64/krb5/plugins/kdb/ipadb.so", 
    mode=-2147483646, caller_dlopen=0x7ffff6a143cd <krb5int_open_plugin+349>, 
    nsid=-2, argc=8, argv=<optimized out>, env=0x55555577ec10) at dl-open.c:656
#8  0x00007ffff733502b in dlopen_doit (a=a@entry=0x7fffffffdca0) at dlopen.c:66


So, spt_clearenv() needs to be smarter when it uses system-provided clearenv() and spt_copyenv() should be careful -- oldenv will likely be deleted before first use.

Moving to libbsd.

I reported the bug upstream.  See bug #971513 for further info.

Just for my education, is there a way to tell koji where to download files instead of the current directory?
