Which is the natural outcome of granting read access to the dc=people subtree. If you want the server's behavior to make sense, then give it ACLs that make sense. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

(ITS#5885) TLS/SSL error from client
by bejnet＠yahoo.com 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Full_Name: Bejoy Version: 2.4.11 OS: gNewSense Gnu/Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (89.211.200.129) Hi I am having some TLS/SSL issues for connecting with ldapsearch from clients. While using openssl to check the certificates - the OpenLDAP server responds properly. But when ldapsearch uses the same certificates, server throws error on improper TLS handshake.

(ITS#5884) disclose ACL not safe on non-leaf objects
by andrew.findlay＠skills-1st.co.uk 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Full_Name: Andrew Findlay Version: HEAD 12 Jan 2009 OS: Linux URL: Submission from: (NULL) (88.97.25.132) Using ACLs to make a non-leaf object non-disclosable does not protect the subtree beneath that object. This is not what most people would expect (if I cannot see a given object then I would not expect to see things underneath it). It also provides a handy attack on supposedly non-detectable entries. For example, if I have a DIT like this: dc=example,dc=org--+ +--dc=a--+ | +--dc=people--+ | +--cn=a1 | +--dc=b--+ +--dc=people--+ +--cn=b1 and I give read access on dc=example,dc=org (base) and on dc=a,dc=example,dc=org (subtree) and dc=people,dc=b,dc=example,dc=org (subtree) but no access at all on dc=b,dc=example,dc=org then I would not expect to be able to read the cn=b1 entry, as doing so would expose the existence of dc=b. What actually happens is that any attempt to read dc=b itself returns correctly as if the entry does not exist, but a simple subtree search happily returns cn=b1. The workaround is to make every entry in the dc=b subtree non-disclosable, but this can be awkward in some ACL schemes. I have tested this with both BDB and HDB and got identical results. (I also tried to do it with IBM's ITDS and Sun's DSEE but they don't even support the non-disclose concept...) There is no RFC for LDAP ACLs so the 'correct' behaviour is debatable...

(ITS#5883) [PATCH] syncrepl test enhancements
by richton＠nbcs.rutgers.edu 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Full_Name: Aaron Richton Version: HEAD OS: irrelevant URL: https://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~richton/syncrepl-modrdn-tests.patch Submission from: (NULL) (67.85.181.229) Per http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200812/msg00004.html these patches enhance tests to detect ITS#5809-like behavior. The actual test changes are at the address linked to this report. They should apply clean to HEAD and can be used immediately with, for example, back-ldif. I note that I wasn't able to reproduce a failure under test018; if anybody can suggest a different test there, that'd be great, or perhaps the stopping and starting somehow masks the condition? While verifying the tests, I noticed that some backends (such as back-bdb) were failing because the consumer and provider returned the attributes in a different order. Since attribute ordering isn't guaranteed, I viewed this as a test failure rather than a slapd failure, and used the back-ndb gawk acfilter.sh to work around this. In the end I just made it apply to all backends: https://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~richton/acfilter.patch but we'll probably want to discuss this on -devel: it adds a gawk dependency to the tests. With the acfilter.sh sorting enabled, I found three tests that don't filter the original data prior to ldapsearch comparison. I added these filters in: https://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~richton/openldap-testflt.patch We all know that nothing's free -- a couple extra commands in the name of bug coverage is probably worth it -- but the gawk dependency may be troublesome. Anyway, do what you will...I consider these pretty trivial, so: These patch files are derived from OpenLDAP Software.
