Topic

Updated nss_ldap packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The nss_ldap packages contain the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules. The nss_ldap
module is a name service switch module, which allows applications to retrieve
information about users and groups from a directory server. The pam_ldap module
allows a directory server to be used by PAM-aware applications to verify user
passwords.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to LDAP connectivity problems, the nss_ldap module returned error

conditions but failed to clean them up. Consequently, nss_ldap started leaking
file descriptors, namely sockets. A patch has been provided to address this bug
and the socket leaks no longer occur in nss_ldap. (BZ#905908)

All users of nss_ldap 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/knowledge/articles/11258
