Whenever I search in the Nickname field and no results are returned, the
jabberd process segfaults. It does not happen in any of the other fields.
What was happening in ljud_search.c:
Line 307: if ( ldap_count_values(vals) ) ldap_value_free(vals);
Line 307 is where the script was crashing if the nickname didn't return
results. ldap_count_values(vals) was 1 and ldap_value_free then
crashed. However, vals should not be set, as it is not for any other
search that didn't return anything. What is vals then, I suspect some garbage?
Solution:
Changed line 53 from:
char **vals;
To:
char **vals = NULL;
I don't know why or how, it just worked for us.
Thanks,
Jeff Hoover
