slapi-nis bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated slapi-nis packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The slapi-nis package contains the NIS server plug-in and the Schema
Compatibility plug-in for use with the 389 directory server.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Due to a bug in the NIS Server plug-in, when multiple clients were connected
  to the server over stream sockets, some of these clients were disconnected
  earlier than expected. This bug has been fixed and clients are no longer
  disconnected too early in the described case. (BZ#923336)
  
• Prior to this update, the NIS Server plug-in did not release memory that was
  used to hold a decoded client request. Consequently, the directory server used
  an excessive amount of memory as it processed more requests from NIS clients.
  The bug has been fixed and the directory server now consumes an expected amount
  of memory. (BZ#967468)
  

Users of slapi-nis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
