[Bug 9204] New: slapo-constraint allows anyone to apply Relax control
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 06 May '26

06 May '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.

[Bug 9211] New: Relax control is not consistently access-restricted

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9211 Bug ID: 9211 Summary: Relax control is not consistently access-restricted Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.49 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ryan(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- The following operations can be performed by anyone having 'write' access (not even 'manage') using the Relax control: - modifying/replacing structural objectClass - adding/modifying OBSOLETE attributes Some operations are correctly restricted: - adding/modifying NO-USER-MODIFICATION attributes marked as manageable (Modification of non-conformant objects doesn't appear to be implemented at all.) In the absence of ACLs for controls, I'm of the opinion that all use of the Relax control should require manage access. The Relax draft clearly and repeatedly discusses its use cases in terms of directory _administrators_ temporarily relaxing constraints in order to accomplish a specific task. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 10265] New: Make it possible to change olcBkLloadListen at runtime

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 10163] New: Cleanup configure/test integration

All of the BUILD_xxx substitutions for overlays are only used in tests/run.in. They could be completely removed, and instead each of the enabled overlays could be emitted into a separate file that just gets included by the test scripts. There's no need for them to be part of the sed invocation at all. There's also leftover BUILD_xxx cruft from backends that we've removed (e.g. back-shell BUILD_SHELL) that nothing else in the tree references any more. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10275] New: mdb_load could use a parameter to pass batch size

The attached patch (0.9.21 but will apply to other versions with modification) allows the user to pass a batch size to be used instead of the default value of 100. Changing the batch size to a larger value improves ingestion speed.

[Issue 10108] New: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 06 May '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.

[Issue 9360] New: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9360 Issue ID: 9360 Summary: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid Product: LMDB Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: spam(a)markandruth.co.uk Target Milestone: --- I have 2 python scripts writing to a database (lmdb 0.9.26, py-lmdb 0.98) and 5-10 lua processes (with lightningmdb module which uses lmdb 0.9.22) which are long-running serving queries from the database. The database seems fine, not corrupted, and the python writes still working all the time. But periodically (perhaps 10-20% of the time), in a way I am unable to reliably reproduce, when the lua starts up every time a query is issued txn dbi_open returns "MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid". A direct restart of the processes does not fix this issue, however stopping lua+python and then starting again after a 5-20s wait usually fixes the issue. This has been reproduced over multiple servers but I'm at a loss as to how to debug this any further? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
