#2447 AD Provider crashes when looking up the "Domain Users" group
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by sgallagh.

I spent several hours today tracking this down. It's very easy to reproduce: simply stand up a single AD domain with one or more users. I didn't add them to any non-default groups, so Domain Users should be the only one they belong to.

Then run

getent group "Domain Users@windows.domain"

and it will crash with a NULL-dereference:

The issue is that {{{dom->sysdb}}} is NULL:

I ran a {{{git bisect}}} until I discovered that the bug was caused by git commit b12e250

I will look into this further, but I'm opening a ticket to track it.


For more detail, we discovered that this bug only happens when the AD provider is not the first domain in the set of active domains.

My configuration had the first domain as id_provider = ldap and the second as id_provider = ad, which made this bug trivially reproducible.
