RHBA-2012:0054 - sssd bug fix update


Synopsis

sssd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated sssd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

SSSD (System Security Services Daemon) provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides NSS (Name Service Switch) and PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) interfaces toward the system and a pluggable back end system to connect to multiple different account sources.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, SSSD did not correctly handle LDAP authentication requests failover under a heavy load and the request could fail with a system error. This occurred due to an invalid LDAP URI value if the second authentication request was sent before the first request could be processed by the failover service. With this update, the underlying code has been modified to ensure that the LDAP URI string remains valid until the LDAP authentication request is processed. (BZ#782443)

All users of sssd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
