Topic

An updated nss_ldap package that incorporates bug fixes made to the
openldap libraries is now available.

Description

The nss_ldap package contains the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules. The
nss_ldap module is a plug-in which allows applications to retrieve
information about users and groups from a directory server.

This updated nss_ldap package fixes the following bug:

  • the nss_ldap module is built with a static copy of the libldap library.

Applications which called the getpwuid() or getpwuid_r() functions could
have triggered an assertion failure in libldap, thus causing the nss_ldap
module to terminate abnormally. This fix updates the static copy of libldap
built into nss_ldap, and potential assertion failures are no longer
triggered. (BZ#539706)

All users of nss_ldap are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.

Solution
