[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.

[Issue 10343] New: Potential Memory Leak in function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10343 Issue ID: 10343 Summary: Potential Memory Leak in function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1070 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1070&action=edit Patch: Change 1 to -1. In function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized, the code allocates a new `struct berval` with ```c new = (struct berval *)slap_sl_malloc(sizeof(struct berval), ctx); ``` and then attempt to allocate `new->bv_val`. If that second allocation fails, it sets `rc = 1` and jumps to the `done` cleanup label. However, the cleanup code only runs when `rc == -1`, so the memory pointed by `new` is never freed, causing a memory leak. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10344] New: Potential memory leak in function firstComponentNormalize and objectClassPretty.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10344 Issue ID: 10344 Summary: Potential memory leak in function firstComponentNormalize and objectClassPretty. Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1071 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1071&action=edit Patch: Ensure the first argument passed to `ber_dupbv_x` is not `NULL`. In `firstComponentNormalize`, the code calls `ber_dupbv_x` but ignores its return value. ```c ber_dupbv_x(normalized, val, ctx); ``` When `normalized` is `NULL`, `ber_dupbv_x` allocates a new `struct berval` and returns it; failing to capture that pointer means we lose ownership and leak the allocation. The same issue arises in `objectClassPretty`. We should follow the pattern in function `hexNormalize`, which asserts that its `normalized` argument is non-NULL before use: ```c assert(normalized != NULL); ``` -- 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.

[Issue 10330] New: TIMEOUT and NETWORK_TIMEOUT not respected when receiving bad data during TLS negotiation
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 12 Jun '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.
