[Bug 9204] New: slapo-constraint allows anyone to apply Relax control
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Apr '26

21 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9204 Bug ID: 9204 Summary: slapo-constraint allows anyone to apply Relax control Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.49 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ryan(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- slapo-constraint doesn't limit who can use the Relax control, beyond the global limits applied by slapd. In practice, for many modifications this means any configured constraints are advisory only. In my opinion this should be considered a bug, in design if not implementation. I expect many admins would not read the man page closely enough to realize the behaviour does technically adhere to the letter of what's written there. Either slapd should require manage privileges for the Relax control globally, or slapo-constraint should perform a check for manage privilege itself, like slapo-unique does. Quoting ando in https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5705#c4: > Well, a user with "manage" privileges on related data could bypass > constraints enforced by slapo-constraint(5) by using the "relax" > control. The rationale is that a user with manage privileges could be > able to repair an entry that needs to violate a constraint for good > reasons. Note that the user: > > - must have enough privileges to do it (manage) > > - must inform the DSA that intends to violate the constraint (by using > the control) but such privileges are currently not being required. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 10266] New: Adopt broader RFC4511 NoD interpretation on lloadd's client side
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10266 Issue ID: 10266 Summary: Adopt broader RFC4511 NoD interpretation on lloadd's client side Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- Server side, lloadd has long implemented a broad interpretation of NoD unsolicited response handling: when the message is issued, no new requests are accepted on the session however the client and server are both free to keep the session open if there are any operations that have not resolved yet. The server is still expected to close the connection as soon as no operations are still pending. This seems to interoperate with known clients. Those that want to will close the session immediately, unaware of this possibility, those that also want to interpret RFC 4511 this way can choose to wait for existing operations to resolve. This ticket is to track the lloadd's implementation of the client side of this - when receiving a NoD message, we don't close the connection immediately+unconditionally either but are willing to wait. Related functionality: - if connection was a bind connection processing a multi-stage SASL bind, the bind should fail if/when the client attempts to progress it - clients assigned to this connection through coherence at least 'connection' are also marked closing -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10229] New: ldap_result, when invoked with MSG_RECEIVED and a timeout value set to 0 (polling), does not return all available messages until it is called again

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10229 Issue ID: 10229 Summary: ldap_result, when invoked with MSG_RECEIVED and a timeout value set to 0 (polling), does not return all available messages until it is called again Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.8 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: nivanova(a)symas.com Target Milestone: --- The issue is noticeable when ldap_result is used by the proxy back-ends. It has not affected back-meta behavior, because when a first call is unsuccessful, it retries with a small timeout. back-asyncmeta will also usually call it twice on the same connection from different threads, although this is not a desired behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10250] New: syncrepl_diff_entry assumes attributes come in the same order
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10250 Issue ID: 10250 Summary: syncrepl_diff_entry assumes attributes come in the same order Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- When trying to diff an entry, syncrepl_diff_entry explicitly assumes attribute come in the same order. That's not always the case and could cause it to report a spurious rewrite of the attribute. Normally this is ok, unless the rewrite itself (not) occurring has other side-effects, when it could cause issues. (e.g. a DB with memberof inconsistencies being mysteriously repaired in some scenarios, which is how it was found). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9888] New: When using cn=config replication, schema updates can corrupt the index database(s)
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9888 Issue ID: 9888 Summary: When using cn=config replication, schema updates can corrupt the index database(s) Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Today I pushed a schema update out to the config node that holds schema that is replicated to the providers and consumers. Post schema update, 2/11 servers crashed in the mdb online indexing function. I fixed this by slapcat the db and slapadd the db. This is important because it was later revealed that on the 9/11 servers that did not crash or have their database reloaded, ldapsearch would return the wrong attribute names for some attribute:value pairs in the database, which caused mayhem in downstream systems and caused replication issues between the nodes. The 2 nodes that were reloaded immediately after the schema change had the only "good" copies of the database left. To give an example, say an entry was something like: dn: uid=joe,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com uid: joe sn: smith cn: joe smith givenName: joe After the change, the broken servers could return something like: dn: uid=joe,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com uid: joe posixGroup: smith cn: joe smith givenName joe It's not clear how deeply this bug ran in the database. It for sure affected 2 attributes used by the person objectClass. Both of the "replacement" attributes were not valid attributes for the person objectClasses in use. Maybe related to the changes in ITS#9858? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10265] New: Make it possible to change olcBkLloadListen at runtime
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10265 Issue ID: 10265 Summary: Make it possible to change olcBkLloadListen at runtime Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- Currently, olcBkLloadListen changes only take effect on lloadd startup: - an added olcBkLloadListen should come online at the end of the modify operation - at the end of the modify operation a removed olcBkLloadListen will stop listening on the sockets associated with it, clients that connected over these are marked CLOSING - to facilitate replacing a value where URIs resolved sockets overlap, olcBkLloadListen should become a MAY in olcBkLloadConfig objectclass Lloadd's startup was modelled upon slapd's, but the requirements have changed considerably when it was turned into a module. Sockets are acquired at module configuration time, which is much later than standalone/slapd's own startup and so the way the URLs are handled also needs to be reworked. This will resolve other related issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9619] New: mdb_env_copy2 with MDB_CP_COMPACT in mdb.master3 produces corrupt mdb file
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 15 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9619 Issue ID: 9619 Summary: mdb_env_copy2 with MDB_CP_COMPACT in mdb.master3 produces corrupt mdb file Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: All OS: Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: kriszyp(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- When copying an LMDB database with mdb_env_copy2 with the MDB_CP_COMPACT with mdb.master3, the resulting mdb file seems to be corrupt and when using it in LMDB, I get segmentation faults. Copying without the compacting flag seems to work fine. I apologize, I know this is not a very good issue report, as I haven't had a chance to actually narrow this down to a more reproducible/isolated case, or look for how to patch. I thought I would report in case there are any ideas on what could cause this. The segmentation faults always seem to be memory write faults (as opposed to try fault on trying to read). Or perhaps the current backup/copying functionality is eventually going to be replaced by incremental backup/copying anyway (https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/1315651814096875520). I'll try to update this if I get a chance to investigate more, but otherwise feel free to ignore/consider low-priority since the work around is easy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10108] New: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 15 Apr '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10108 Issue ID: 10108 Summary: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: tuukka.pensala(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- In mdb_dump.c we have these instructions: /* -a: dump main DB and all subDBs * -s: dump only the named subDB * -n: use NOSUBDIR flag on env_open * -p: use printable characters * -f: write to file instead of stdout * -V: print version and exit * (default) dump only the main DB */ However, contrary to the description, the option -a does not dump the main DB. With argument -a "dumpit(..)" is called for the named databases, but not for the unnamed one. With the current behavior, if the data store contains subDBs and has user-added data in the main DB, there seems to be no way to dump all of it at once using mdb_dump. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
