Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated openldap packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The openldap packages contain configuration files, libraries, and documentation
for OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP is an open source suite of Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) applications and development tools. LDAP is a set of protocols
for accessing directory services over the Internet, similar to the way Domain
Name System (DNS) information is propagated over the Internet.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When running an OpenLDAP server with the LDAP Sync replication engine
  (syncrepl) enabled and a large amount of data was replicated, the memory was
  used extensively. Due to high memory usage, the standalone LDAP daemon (slapd)
  was sometimes not able to allocate enough free memory using its default memory
  allocation mechanism. As a consequence, slapd fell back on the secondary memory
  allocation mechanism but without freeing the memory properly, and thus causing
  memory leaks. With this update, the slpad daemon frees the memory correctly in
  such a scenario, and memory leaks no longer occur. (BZ#750538)
  

All users of openldap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
