  • autofs CIFS mount with krb5 authetication is broken by last (2015-07-22) update ?

    Posted on

    After applying the 2015-07-22 update that updated among many things the kernel, autofs, krb5 the system had issues mounting the cifs shares. This system is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago), Linux ..... 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64.

    Looking at the logs quickly looks like the creduid argument passed on to cifs.upcall is not set correctly:
    key description: cifs.spnego;0;0;3f000000;ver=0x2;host=saspdarcap02v;ip4=10.34.34.41;sec=krb5;uid=0x0;creduid=0x0;user=root;pid=0x4840
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: ver=2
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: host=saspdarcap02v
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: ip=10.34.34.41
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: sec=1
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: uid=0
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: creduid=0
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: user=root
    Jul 22 13:26:12 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: pid=18496

    After restoring the pre-update state things work fine as before:
    cifs.upcall: key description: cifs.spnego;0;0;3f000000;ver=0x2;host=Saspd-PARdb01v;ip4=10.34.33.139;sec=krb5;uid=0x0;creduid=0x801519c;user=root;pid=0x2422
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: ver=2
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: host=Saspd-PARdb01v
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: ip=10.34.33.139
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: sec=1
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: uid=0
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: creduid=134304156
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: user=root
    Jul 23 11:13:52 DSPYXE-RHL01 cifs.upcall: pid=9250

    I have not had a chance to look into which of the updates (kernel, autofs, krb5) brakes it. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
