Bug Description
This affects 12.04 Precise.
Description:
This occurs when using libnss-ldap with gnutls for authentication. Previous versions of nscd did not cache netgroup information, but the version in precise does (2.15-0ubuntu5). When using a sudo rule file which uses netgroup membership in /etc/sudoers.d, using 'sudo' will cause an nscd segfault.
Reproducible: 100%
Steps to reproduce:
- Configure 12.04 to use nssldap authentication
- Configure a sudo rule that queries netgroups (example attached)
- Install nscd
- Issue sudo command
- There will be a segfault.
It is expected that there won't be a segfault and sudo will work correctly.
