RHBA-2015:0626 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated 389-ds-base packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The 389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 (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, if some task threads were running during the directory server shutdown, a task handle could be freed when the main thread shut down, even though the task thread still referred the task handle. Consequently, the server process terminated unexpectedly during the server shutdown phase. With this update, the main thread shutdown is delayed until the task threads finish completely. Also, checks performed by the task threads during server shutdown have been improved. As a result, the server no longer crashes during the shutdown phase in the described situation. (BZ#1195293)
• Prior to this update, under certain circumstances, the "systemctl stop dirsrv.target" command, which 389-ds-base issues before starting the upgrade scripts, did not stop all installed servers. Consequently, if the servers were not completely stopped before the upgrade scripts started to run, the upgrade failed. With this update, 389-ds-base issues the "systemctl stop" command for each server instance, which ensures that all installed servers are shut down before the upgrade scripts start. As a result, the upgrade no longer fails in the described situation. (BZ#1195295)

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.
