7.17. bind-dyndb-ldap

Bug Fixes

BZ#1175318

Previously, the bind-dyndb-ldap 2.x driver (used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x) did not handle forward zones correctly when it was in the same replication topology as bind-dyndb-ldap 6.x (used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1). As a consequence, forward zones stopped working on all replicas. The underlying source code has been patched to fix this bug, and forward zones now continue to work in the described situation.

BZ#1142176

The bind-dyndb-ldap library incorrectly compared current time and the expiration time of the Kerberos ticket used for authentication to an LDAP server. As a consequence, the Kerberos ticket was not renewed under certain circumstances, which caused the connection to the LDAP server to fail. The connection failure often happened after a BIND service reload was triggered by the logrotate utility. A patch has been applied to fix this bug, and Kerberos tickets are correctly renewed in this scenario.

BZ#1126841

Prior to this update, the bind-dyndb-ldap plug-in incorrectly locked certain data structures. Consequently, a race condition during forwarder address reconfiguration could cause BIND to terminate unexpectedly. This bug has been fixed, bind-dyndb-ldap now locks data structures properly, and BIND no longer crashes in this scenario.

BZ#1219568

Previously, the bind-dyndb-ldap plug-in incorrectly handled timeouts which occurred during LDAP operations. As a consequence, under very specific circumstances, the BIND daemon could terminate unexpectedly. With this update, bind-dyndb-ldap has been fixed to correctly handle timeouts during LDAP operations and the BIND daemon no longer crashes in this scenario.

BZ#1183805

The documentation for bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3 located in the /usr/share/doc/bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3/README file incorrectly stated that the "idnsAllowTransfer" and "idnsAllowQuery" LDAP attributes are multi-valued. Consequently, users were not able to configure DNS zone transfer and query acess control lists according to the documentation. The documentation has been fixed to explain the correct attribute syntax.
