982325 – Overflow in nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold

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 Ján Rusnačko 2013-07-08 16:52:06 UTC

Description of problem:
When nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold is set too high, it overflows to negative numbers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-16.el6_4.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ldapmodify -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: 3000000000
EOF

2. ldapsearch -h localhost -p 22139 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=config" -LLL -s base nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: -1294967296

Actual results:
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold is set to -1294967296 instead of 3000000000

Expected results:
Value should be refused if too high.

Comment 3 Ján Rusnačko 2013-07-09 07:08:18 UTC

Additionally, please consider changing the upper bound in returned error message:

ldapmodify -h localhost -p 22139 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: -2
EOF
modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Operations error (1)
	additional info: nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: "-2" is invalid, threshold must be greater than 2048 and less then -1

Comment 7 Ján Rusnačko 2013-07-25 09:39:04 UTC

[jrusnack@dstet 6.0]$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 19741 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: -2
EOF
modifying entry "cn=config"

[jrusnack@dstet 6.0]$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 19741 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -b "cn=config" -s base -LLL nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-disk-monitoring-threshold: -2

389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-18.el6_4.x86_64

Negative values should be refused - see comment #3.

Another unrelated minor issue:

"Available disk space is now acceptable (0 bytes).  Aborting shutdown, and restoring the log settings."

The error message from log, that notifies about abort of shutdown, should probably contain information about free space, instead of '0 bytes'.
