https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10205 Issue ID: 10205 Summary: SSL handshake blocks forever in async mode if server unaccessible Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.17 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: regtube(a)hotmail.com Target Milestone: --- When ldaps:// scheme is used to connect to currently unaccessible server with LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC and LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT options set, it blocks forever on SSL_connect. Here is a trace: ldap_sasl_bind ldap_send_initial_request ldap_new_connection 1 1 0 ldap_int_open_connection ldap_connect_to_host: TCP winserv.test.net:636 ldap_new_socket: 3 ldap_prepare_socket: 3 ldap_connect_to_host: Trying 192.168.56.2:636 ldap_pvt_connect: fd: 3 tm: 30 async: -1 ldap_ndelay_on: 3 attempting to connect: connect errno: 115 ldap_int_poll: fd: 3 tm: 0 ldap_err2string [2024-04-25 15:41:27.112] [error] [:1] bind(): Connecting (X) [2024-04-25 15:41:27.112] [error] [:1] err: -18 ldap_sasl_bind ldap_send_initial_request ldap_int_poll: fd: 3 tm: 0 ldap_is_sock_ready: 3 ldap_ndelay_off: 3 TLS trace: SSL_connect:before SSL initialization TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3/TLS write client hello Looks like it happens because non-blocking mode is cleared from the socket (ldap_ndelay_off) after the first poll for write, and non-blocking mode is never restored before attempt to do tls connect, because of the check that assumes that non-blocking mode has already been set for async mode: if ( !async ) { /* if async, this has already been set */ ber_sockbuf_ctrl( sb, LBER_SB_OPT_SET_NONBLOCK, (void*)1 ); } while in fact it was cleared. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[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 10330] New: TIMEOUT and NETWORK_TIMEOUT not respected when receiving bad data during TLS negotiation
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 26 Aug '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10330 Issue ID: 10330 Summary: TIMEOUT and NETWORK_TIMEOUT not respected when receiving bad data during TLS negotiation Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.9 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: michael.kourlas(a)solace.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1063 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1063&action=edit Test program This seems related to bug 8047. Steps to reproduce: 1. Setup a netcat server on a host: "nc -l -k -p 636". 2. On a different host, attempt to connect to the host running "nc" as if it were an LDAP server via ldaps: "ldapsearch -o NETWORK_TIMEOUT=5 -o TIMEOUT=5 -H ldaps://<ip>:636". 3. During the 5 second timeout period, switch back to the netcat server and transmit a newline by pressing enter. 4. ldapsearch will hang forever until the TCP connection is closed (e.g. by killing the netcat server). My expectation would be that ldapsearch would exit after 5 seconds, per the NETWORK_TIMEOUT and TIMEOUT options. I'm using the following version of ldapsearch on Fedora 41 (x86-64): > ldapsearch: @(#) $OpenLDAP: ldapsearch 2.6.9 (Mar 27 2025 00:00:00) $ > openldap > (LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20609) This problem is also observable when directly using the OpenLDAP C API. This is more of an issue, since any application using the API could become unresponsive if these timeout values aren't respected. I've attached a short test program which can be used instead of ldapsearch. If I abort the test program while it is stuck in this state, the traceback looks like this: > #0 0x00007f50b7a25811 in __GI___libc_read (fd=3, buf=0x2aaf9ac5, nbytes=3) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/read.c:26 > #1 0x00007f50b792f8b9 in sb_debug_read (sbiod=0x2aadf390, buf=0x2aaf9ac5, len=3) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c:829 > #2 0x00007f50b7b61156 in tlso_bio_read (b=0x2aadf9c0, buf=0x2aaf9ac5 "", len=3) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/tls_o.c:1279 > #3 0x00007f50b7221ea3 in bread_conv (bio=<optimized out>, data=<optimized out>, datal=<optimized out>, readbytes=0x7ffd1cf2e3f0) > at crypto/bio/bio_meth.c:121 > #4 0x00007f50b7226047 in bio_read_intern (b=b@entry=0x2aadf9c0, data=0x2aaf9ac5, data@entry=0x555f3588, dlen=3, dlen@entry=18446744072487067717, > readbytes=readbytes@entry=0x7ffd1cf2e3f0) at crypto/bio/bio_lib.c:285 > #5 0x00007f50b72261db in BIO_read (b=0x2aadf9c0, data=0x555f3588, dlen=-1222483899) at crypto/bio/bio_lib.c:311 > #6 BIO_read (b=b@entry=0x2aadf9c0, data=data@entry=0x2aaf9ac5, dlen=dlen@entry=3) at crypto/bio/bio_lib.c:303 > #7 0x00007f50b783ce03 in tls_default_read_n (rl=0x2aaec1c0, n=5, max=<optimized out>, extend=<optimized out>, clearold=<optimized out>, > readbytes=0x7ffd1cf2e4b8) at ssl/record/methods/tls_common.c:406 > #8 0x00007f50b784151b in tls_get_more_records (rl=0x2aaec1c0) at ssl/record/methods/tls_common.c:583 > #9 0x00007f50b783b8ea in tls_read_record (rl=0x2aaec1c0, rechandle=0x2aaeb600, rversion=0x2aaeb608, type=0x2aaeb60c "", data=0x2aaeb610, > datalen=0x2aaeb620, epoch=0x0, seq_num=0x0) at ssl/record/methods/tls_common.c:1130 > #10 0x00007f50b783969a in ssl3_read_bytes (ssl=<optimized out>, type=22 '\026', recvd_type=0x7ffd1cf2e684 "", buf=0x2aaee480 "\001", len=4, > peek=0, readbytes=0x7ffd1cf2e688) at ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:689 > #11 0x00007f50b784f5a7 in tls_get_message_header (s=0x2aaea980, mt=<synthetic pointer>) at ssl/statem/statem_lib.c:1554 > --Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging-- > #12 read_state_machine (s=0x2aaea980) at ssl/statem/statem.c:625 > #13 state_machine (s=<optimized out>, server=0) at ssl/statem/statem.c:479 > #14 0x00007f50b7b615c3 in tlso_session_connect (ld=<optimized out>, sess=0x2aaea980, name_in=<optimized out>) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/tls_o.c:693 > #15 0x00007f50b7b65bf2 in ldap_int_tls_connect (ld=ld@entry=0x2a9b2430, conn=conn@entry=0x2a9b25d0, host=host@entry=0x2a9b2550 "192.168.133.56") > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/tls2.c:425 > #16 0x00007f50b7b6636f in ldap_int_tls_start (ld=0x2a9b2430, conn=0x2a9b25d0, srv=<optimized out>) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/tls2.c:1245 > #17 0x00007f50b7b3d4c2 in ldap_int_open_connection (ld=0x2a9b2430, conn=0x2a9b25d0, srv=0x2a9b24d0, async=0) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/open.c:515 > #18 0x00007f50b7b5212d in ldap_new_connection (ld=0x2a9b2430, srvlist=0x2a9b2878, use_ldsb=1, connect=<optimized out>, bind=0x0, m_req=0, m_res=0) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/request.c:491 > #19 0x00007f50b7b3c7b4 in ldap_open_defconn (ld=0x2a9b2430) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/open.c:42 > #20 0x00007f50b7b52ed8 in ldap_send_initial_request (ld=0x2a9b2430, msgtype=96, dn=0x4023a9 "cn=admin,dc=solace,dc=com", ber=0x2a9b2570, msgid=1) > at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/request.c:131 > #21 0x00007f50b7b429b9 in ldap_sasl_bind (ld=0x2a9b2430, dn=0x4023a9 "cn=admin,dc=solace,dc=com", mechanism=0x0, cred=0x7ffd1cf2eb90, sctrls=0x0, > cctrls=0x0, msgidp=0x7ffd1cf2eb8c) at /usr/src/debug/openldap-2.6.9-1.fc41.x86_64/openldap-2.6.9/libraries/libldap/sasl.c:164 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10301] New: Use assertion control in lastbind chaining
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 26 Aug '25

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.

[Issue 10297] New: LDAP initialization does unnecessary resolution of hostname

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10297 Issue ID: 10297 Summary: LDAP initialization does unnecessary resolution of hostname 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: simon.pichugin(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- curl --version does try to resolve local hostname, which is usually stored in $HOSTNAME variable. It seems it does that for no good reason. It does not matter whether machine hostname is already FQDN or not, it always try it unconditionally by calling getaddrinfo(3). Every usage of dnf tries to resolve hostname. That is then supressed by myhostname on Fedora, which returns non-helping response. Possibly, the hostname should be fetched from actual network responses. Seen with: openldap-2.6.8-5.fc41.x86_64 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install gdb curl 2. gdb --args curl --version 3. (gdb) break getaddrinfo 4. (gdb) run Actual Results: getaddrinfo is called with current hostname, stored into ldap_int_hostname variable. That is used only when ldap client has not configured target server. But this hostname seems fetched always. Expected Results: No network activity happens, unless something is actually requested. This is not the case. Suggestion is to make it lazy initialized. It should be tried only when necessary. This seems to be useful when tlso_session_chkhost in libraries/libldap/tls_o.c is used. It should initialize hostname only once conditions to use it happens. There is a fallback anyway. It should query FQDN only when name_in contains unusable response.
