3.85. sssd
Updated sssd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides the Name Service Switch (NSS) and the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interfaces toward the system and a pluggable back-end system to connect to multiple different account sources.
Bug Fix
- BZ#1000205
- Prior to this update, when a dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) update operation timed out, it unintentionally freed specific data related to the update. Consequently, a child_handler() call attempted to access this data, which caused the sssd_be process to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, child_handler() is destroyed when a dynamic DNS update times out and sssd_be thus no longer crashes in the described scenario.
Users of sssd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
