RHBA-2014:1237 - 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 5.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, when a dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) update operation timed out, it unintentionally freed specific data related to the update. Consequently, a child_handler() call attempted to access this data, which caused the sssd_be process to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, child_handler() is destroyed when a dynamic DNS update times out and sssd_be thus no longer crashes in the described scenario. (BZ#1000205)

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