Issue

What were you trying to do that didn't work? Upgraded 389-ds-base to 1.3.11.1-3 and then encountered constant segfaults and general protection errors, which caused the directory server to crash. [ 9278.299907] traps: ns-slapd[12360] general protection ip:7f8f8eee8c7d sp:7f8f567f6de8 error:0 in libback-ldbm.so[7f8f8eec9000+a5000] [25630.522242] traps: ns-slapd[9971] general protection ip:7f5c542cac7d sp:7f5c167f6de8 error:0 in libback-ldbm.so[7f5c542ab000+a5000] [27374.232925] ns-slapd[16960]: segfault at 7efe006e7375 ip 00007eff43230c7d sp 00007eff099d4de8 error 4 in libback-ldbm.so[7eff43211000+a5000] [59820.302966] ns-slapd[1573]: segfault at c1 ip 00007f00b83ae25a sp 00007f0067ff1d90 error 4 in libslapd.so.0.1.0[7f00b833f000+12f000] The following backtrace was logged once: *** Error in `/usr/sbin/ns-slapd': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fd800444965 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x81329)[0x7fd8db37e329] /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0(slapi_ch_free+0x11)[0x7fd8dc6d1ea1] /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0(slapi_entry_free+0xe2)[0x7fd8dc6e0fc2] /usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/libback-ldbm.so(ldbm_back_next_search_entry_ext+0x6ce)[0x7fd8cdd4bfbe] /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0(+0x9b816)[0x7fd8dc716816] /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0(op_shared_search+0xbdd)[0x7fd8dc717ffd] /usr/sbin/ns-slapd(+0x2dece)[0x55e812c46ece] /usr/sbin/ns-slapd(+0x1bc13)[0x55e812c34c13] /lib64/libnspr4.so(+0x28f7b)[0x7fd8d97cef7b] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x7ea5)[0x7fd8d916eea5] /lib64/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d)[0x7fd8db3fbb0d] Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen: 389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-3.el7_9.x86_64 389-ds-base-libs-1.3.11.1-3.el7_9.x86_64 How reproducible: This wasn't observed in a dev environment initially, but in production with more hosts (about 300) reading from LDAP, the issue was encountered. Previous versions of 389-ds-base were able to handle this same amount of hosts without crashing. It takes a few hours for the segfault to occur, and it is not instant, despite serving many clients. Steps to reproduce Install 389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-3.el7_9.x86_64 Start up the directory service, in my case as a part of IPA Have many ipa clients use this server Observe that the directory service crashes after a few hours of operation Expected results Running 389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-3 will be reliable and not crash  Actual results After a few hours, 389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-3 crashes and needs to be manually restarted. Downgrading to 389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-2  and 389-ds-base-libs-1.3.11.1-2 resolves the issue and is stable, without crashing.
