#236 bind-dyndb-ldap causes bind to crash
Closed: wontfix by abbra. Opened by ejacobsha.

Problem

What does not work as expected?

Bind crashes shortly after starting

This all started after a "DNF update" updated Bind from version 9.16.23-18.el9_4.1 to _4.6 I'm pretty sure it is related to bind-dyndb-ldap, because when I comment out the dyndb section of the named.conf file, named comes up and works. When the dyndb section is in place, named comes up fine and seems to initialize, but shortly after that, it crashes.

Steps to Reproduce

This occurs on Rocky 9.4 ( 5.14.0-427.40.1.el9_4.aarch64 )
Upgrade Bind from version 32:9.16.23-18.el9_4.1 to 32:9.16.23-18.el9_4.6

I tried this on another server and the same thing happened.

Environment

  • Plugin version: 11.9-10.el9_4

  • Version of BIND: 32:9.16.23-18.el9_4.6

  • Distribution and version (i.e. including updates): Rocky 9.4 kernel 5.14.0-427.40.1.el9_4

  • Architecture: aarch64

  • Do you use bind-dyndb-ldap as part of FreeIPA installation? Yes, version 4.11.0-15.el9_4

This looks like an issue in Rocky Linux builds as bind-dyndb-ldap must be rebuilt with bind when bind's ABI changes.

If you look at https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/bind/-/commit/0406b88666eb24c92134b8a71f64c9c9da95db18, you can see that it includes CVE fixes that actually required bind-dyndb-ldap rebuilds. RHEL and Fedora did those rebuilds whie RockyLinux did not, thus bind and bind-dyndb-ldap in RockyLinux repositories went out of sync.

RHEL update for these bind CVEs even includes bind-dyndb-ldap together with bind packages: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:5907

You should be talking to RockyLinux maintainers and open an issue there.

Metadata Update from @abbra:

Thanks for the update. I have opened an issue with the Rocky Linux team.
Hopefully, they'll get it fixed.
