[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#440632: ldapadd with 'objectClasses' instead of 'objectClass' brings slapd down

[Thomas Sesselmann]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.30-5
Severity: grave



Hello,

i am used debian etch.

I am wrongly used the misspelling Attribute 'objectClasses' instead of 'objectClass'
in ldapadd and then the slapd dies ...

I have verified this with a new (debian default) installation
with no special things and anonymous ldapadd!




floh at lenny:~$ ldapadd -x
dn: uid=test5,ou=SONST,ou=people,dc=kip.uni-heidelberg,dc=de
objectClasses: top


adding new entry "uid=test5,ou=SONST,ou=people,dc=kip.uni-heidelberg,dc=de"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
        additional info: objectClasses: value #0 normalization failed


=> now there are no slapd-processes left ... (the slapd process is dead)

floh at lenny:~$ ldapsearch -h ldap uid=test4
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

root at ldap:~# ps -ef |grep slap
root     21036 14161  0 10:30 pts/0    00:00:00 grep slap
