Topic

An updated nss_db package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The nss_db package contains a set of C library extensions which allow Berkeley
Databases to be used as a primary source of aliases, groups, hosts, networks,
protocols, users, services, or shadow passwords instead of, or in addition to,
using flat files or NIS (Network Information Service).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When a module does not provide its own method for retrieving a user's list of

supplemental group memberships, the libc library's default method is used
instead to get that information by examining all of the groups known to the
module. Consequently, applications which attempted to retrieve the information
from multiple threads simultaneously, interfered with each other and each
received an incomplete result set. This update provides a module-specific method
which prevents this interference in the nss_db module.(BZ#718203)

Users of nss_db are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this
bug.

Solution

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