[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#860947: Bug#860947: slapd: Slapd fails to stop sometimes

Wed Apr 26 06:28:28 UTC 2017

I have not reproduced your exact problem. However I did find [1] which 
seems possibly relevant, and I can reproduce the original bug with ldclt 
as in [2] in Debian (with slapd as server). I also experimented with a 
slapd config containing 5 syncrepl clients, all using GSSAPI, and 
encountered a couple of occurrences of memory corruption.

Besides the RH bug in cyrus-sasl, the lack of concurrency protection 
around libldap's sasl_client_init still concerns me, too; so there are a 
couple of avenues to look into.
