RHBA-2014:0567 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated 389-ds-base packages that fix 2 bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The 389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The base packages
include the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line
utilities for server administration.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the size of the directory server constantly increased after search

requests for a simple paged results were processed. The memory leak causing this
bug has been fixed, and the server size no longer increases in the
aforementioned scenario. (BZ#1094412)

• Previously, when a search request for simple paged results was sent to a

server and the request was abandoned, the paged result slot in the connection
table was not properly released. Consequently, as the slot was not available,
the temporary initial slot number "-1" was kept to access an array, which caused
the invalid access. With this update, the abandoned slot is properly cleaned up
for reuse. As a result, the temporary slot number is now replaced with the
correct slot number, and the invalid access no longer occurs. (BZ#1094413)

Users of 389-ds-base are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs. After installing this update, the 389 server service will be
restarted automatically.
