Issue ID: 10089
Summary: regex that does not pass `regtest()` causes the entire
process to exit
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: 2.6.6
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: slapd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
There are 6 locations in `aclparse.c` in the function `parse_acl()` that call
`regtest()` validating a regex expression before its use. Currently, when
`regtest()` finds an issue it calls `exit()` and the process must be restarted.
It seems that a better approach would be to allow the failures to be processed
by the caller where the severity might be better understood. In some (most?)
cases it's likely just fine for the process to continue after some information
about the issue is logged and resources are released properly.
