RHBA-2016:0147 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

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, when several values of the same attribute were deleted using the

ldapmodify command, and at least one of them was added again during the same
operation, the equality index was not updated. As a consequence, an exact search
for the re-added attribute value did not return the entry. The logic of the
index code has been modified to update the index if at least one of the values
in the entry changes, and the exact search for the re-added attribute value now
returns the correct entry. (BZ#1289844)

• Previously, if a simple paged results search failed in the back end, the

simple paged results slot was not released. Consequently, the simple paged
results slots in a connection object could be accumulated. With this update, the
simple paged results slot is released correctly when a search fails, and unused
simple paged results slots are no longer left in a connection object.
(BZ#1290722)

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.
