Package: libnss-ldapd Version: 0.9.4-3 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 Dear Maintainer,
The version 0.9.4 of libnss-ldapd contains a flaw that makes the `getent hosts` command and similar name resolution crash when the LDAP directory contains mixed IPv4 and IPv6 ipHostNumbers. I discussed this issue with upstream on http://lists.arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd-users/2016/msg00005.html and it is fixed in 0.9.6. I would recommend that Debian provide an update to stable for this package. To reproduce: create a Host with both an IPv4 and IPv6 ipHostNumber assigned inm your directory. NSSWITCH should contain `ldap` in the hosts section. Then you can observe the crash with either `getent hosts hostname` or simply `getent hosts`. This issue severely affects our LDAP based hosts lists since we started to deploy dual IPv4/IPv6 VMs. Thanks, -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libnss-ldapd depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii multiarch-support 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii nslcd [nslcd-2] 0.9.4-3 libnss-ldapd recommends no packages. libnss-ldapd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: libnss-ldapd/clean_nsswitch: false * libnss-ldapd/nsswitch: passwd, group, hosts, automount
