Package: libpam-smbpass
Version: 2:4.1.9+dfsg-1
Severity: important
It appears that libpam-smbpass, at least when used in some services, leaks
file descriptors. This eventually causes the service in question to become
non-functional when the open FD limit is exceeded.
In my case, the service is openvpn.
I see many many copies of this set of file descriptors:
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 979 -> /dev/urandom
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 98 -> /var/lib/samba/private/passdb.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 980 -> /var/lib/samba/private/passdb.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 981 -> /var/lib/samba/account_policy.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 982 -> /var/cache/samba/gencache.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 983 -> /run/samba/gencache_notrans.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 984 -> /var/lib/samba/group_mapping.tdb
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 18 06:39 985 -> /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb
Once the FD limit is reached, nobody can connect to the VPN until it is
restarted.
