You have been subscribed to a public bug: We're experiencing fairly significant memory leaks when using pam_ldap when used from nginx. After some preliminary investigation it seems to be similar to the redhat issue 660236:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660236 The symptoms are substantial amounts of memory being leaked per request when the pam_authenticate call is used. Working from the assumption that this is caused by the loss of memory when dlclose is called I preloaded the pam module by adding the following to /etc/default/nginx LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_ldap.so at that point the leaks stopped immediately. ** Affects: libpam-ldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Memory leak when using pam_ldap in long running processes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1418265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libpam-ldap in Ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
