RHBA-2012:1067 - 389-ds-base bug fix update

Synopsis

389-ds-base bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated 389-ds-base packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The 389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The base packages include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for server administration.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, simultaneous updates that included deleting an attribute in an entry could cause the domain directory server to abort with a segmentation fault. This update checks whether a modified attribute entry has a NULL value. Now, the server handles simultaneous updates as expected. (BZ#834096)

  • Prior to this update, the get_entry function did not accept a NULL pblock. As a consequence, the Account Usability feature did not return the correct information about user account expiration and locked status. This update modifies the underlying code so that the get_entry function now accepts a NULL pblock. (BZ#836251)

All users of 389-ds-base are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs. Note: after completing this update, the 389 server service is restarted automatically.

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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
