Synopsis
autofs bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated autofs package that fixes a bug which caused autofs to fail
occasionally when accessing an LDAP server while using SASL authentication
is now available.
Description
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts, and then unmounts file systems after a period of
inactivity. File systems can include network file systems, CD-ROMs,
diskettes, and other media.
This updated autofs package fixes the following bug:
- when connecting to an LDAP server while using SASL authentication, autofs
occasionally failed with a segmentation fault, forcing users to restart the
autofs service. This failure was caused by a double-free error in the
cyrus-sasl module, which has been fixed in this updated package. Connecting
to an LDAP server while using SASL authentication now works as expected.
(BZ#504566)
All users of autofs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
