[Issue 9564] New: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9564 Issue ID: 9564 Summary: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: Other OS: Mac OS Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: kriszyp(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 825 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=825&action=edit Free the spilled pages and dirty overflows before unlocking the write mutex The spilled pages (a transaction's mt_spill_pgs) is freed *after* a write transaction's mutex is unlocked (in mdb.master3). This can result in a race condition where a second transaction can start and subsequently assign a new mt_spill_pgs list to the transaction structure that it reuses. If this occurs after the first transaction unlocks the mutex, but before it performs the free operation on mt_spill_pgs, then the first transaction will end up calling a free on the same spilled page list as the second transaction, resulting in a double free (and crash). It would seem to be an extremely unlikely scenario to actually happen, since the free call is literally the next operation after the mutex is unlocked, and the second transaction would need to make it all the way to the point of saving the freelist before a page spill list is likely to be allocated. Consequently, this probably has rarely happened. However, one of our users (see https://github.com/DoctorEvidence/lmdb-store/issues/48 for the discussion) has noticed this occurring, and it seems that it may be particularly likely to happen on MacOS on the new M1 silicon. Perhaps there is some peculiarity to how the threads are more likely to yield execution after a mutex unlock, I am not sure. I was able to reproduce the issue by intentionally manipulating the timing (sleeping before the free) to verify that the race condition is technically feasible, and apparently this can happen "in the wild" on MacOS, at least with an M1. It is also worth noting that this is due to (or a regression from) the fix for ITS#9155 (https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/commit/cb256f409bb53efeda4ac69ee8165a0b4fc1a277) where the free call was moved outside the conditional (for having a parent) that had previously never been executed after the mutex is unlocked, but now is called after the unlock. Anyway, the solution is relatively simple, the free call simply has to be moved above the unlock. In my patch, I also moved the free call for mt_dirty_ovs. I am not sure what OVERFLOW_NOTYET/mt_dirty_ovs is for, but presumably it should be handled the same. This could alternately be solved by saving the reference to these lists before unlocking, and freeing after unlocking, which would slightly decrease the amount of processing within the mutex guarded code. Let me know if you prefer a patch that does that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10205] New: SSL handshake blocks forever in async mode if server unaccessible

[Issue 10254] New: Allow upgrading password hash on bind
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 08 Sep '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10254 Issue ID: 10254 Summary: Allow upgrading password hash on bind Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: me(a)floriswesterman.nl Target Milestone: --- Many OpenLDAP installations are likely to contain relatively old password hashes such as SSHA and CRYPT, as modern alternatives such as Argon are only recent additions. Due to the nature of password hashes, it is of course not possible to "unhash" the old values and rehash them with a more modern algorithm. The presence of these old password hashes poses a liability in case of information leaks or hacks. Currently, the only way to upgrade a password hash is to wait for the user to change their password. This can be sped up by expiring passwords and forcing users to change them. However, this can be slow and frequent password rotation is no longer considered a best practice. It would be a very helpful addition to add support for upgrading a password hash on bind. This is implemented in the 389 directory server: https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/pwupgrade-on-bind.html Essentially, when a user binds, the password is checked like normal. In case of a successful bind, the proposed feature would check the hash algorithm used for the password; and in case it is not equal to the current `olcPasswordHash` value, the user-provided password is rehashed using the new algorithm and stored. This way, the old hashes are phased out more quickly, without being a disturbance to users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9343] New: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9343 Issue ID: 9343 Summary: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Currently, ppolicy only supports a single global default policy, and past that any policies must be manually added to a given user entry if they are supposed to have something other than the default policy. Also, some sites want no default policy, and only a specific subset to have a policy applied to them. For both of these cases, it would be helpful if it were possible to configure a policy to apply to a set of users via a URL similar to the way we handle creating groups of users in dynlist -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10301] New: Use assertion control in lastbind chaining

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10301 Issue ID: 10301 Summary: Use assertion control in lastbind chaining 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: --- Take a setup with a bunch of consumers tracking lastbind information and replicating this back from the provider. If a client sends a lot of successful binds to it in a very short window, the changes might not have a chance to replicate down so each of these binds has to trigger a new modification to be forwarded. This results in a lot of DB churn and replication traffic that is actually meaningless (the pwdLastChange values before and after each of the mods will be the same). We probably can't avoid having to send something, but the change we send could have an assertion control attached that lets the provider skip it if pwdLastChange>=new_value, saving on all of the additional processing (and additional useless replication traffic). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Bug 9186] New: RFE: More metrics in cn=monitor

Thus it would be nice if cn=monitor provides more metrics. 1. Overall connection count per listener starting at 0 when started. This would be a simple counter added to: entries cn=Listener 0,cn=Listeners,cn=Monitor 2. Counter for the various "deferring" messages separated by the reason for deferring. 3. Counters for all possible result codes. In my mtail program I also label it with the result type. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 10092] New: Local logging doesn't build on Windows

This feature doesn't exist on Windows. The closest equivalent, WriteFileGather, only works on page sized and aligned writes. On Windows the only way to write as desired is to copy the message into a new buffer first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
