Well, that's coming from Kerberos library, which is called by OpenSSL for some reason.. Are you using Kerberos? Anyway it looks to me more like OpenSSL or Kerberos bug.
Tim,
Below is the stack trace with symbols. The bug appears to manifest only in 64bit redhat/centos 5 only but happens against multiple versions of openssl that existed over 5's life. Unfortunately, RedHat decided to compile in kerberos so I can't control that. We played around but couldn't find a way to make it stop by manipulating ssl_cipher_list.
I have seen dovecot crash when the following packages are installed: openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5, openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1
I've reduced the test case to this:
31705 (SSL Cipher Suites Supported) - http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=21643
When run manually from command line, I had to replace 443 with 993 or 995 inside the ssl_supported_ciphers.nasl script.
Then I can just run this to make it happen: nasl -t
While this is clearly an openssl bug, I cannot reproduce this on courier, but I did find a reference to a similar backtrace with stunnel: http://tinyurl.com/yeyo7t9
Can you think of any way I could disable kerberos for dovecot so this does not segfault? Is there any check we could put in the code to prevent the segfault?
Thanks, Todd
