Bug Description

Starting with kernels 3.2.0-64 and 3.13.0-29 Something has changed to once again that prevents IBM Domino's "/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/bindsock" binary that runs as root (setuid) to get ports lower than 1024 for it's LDAP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and HTTP processes.

The Domino server reports the following: :
  "Listener failure: 'bindsock' is missing, not executable, not owned by root, not setuid root or user needs net_privaddr privilege."

This is the same behaviour that was reported and subsequently corrected in Bug # 1269053

Ok I have added some debug to try and confirm which change affected this. @Kit if you could test the kernel below and get me a dmesg from that run, it should still fail. Kernels are at the URL below:

Please report any testing back here.

Hello,
I still get the following message after I installed IBM Domino Server 9.0.1 on Ubuntu server 14.0.4 LTS.

The Domino server reports the following: :
  "Listener failure: 'bindsock' is missing, not executable, not owned by root, not setuid root or user needs net_privaddr privilege."

I download Ubuntu server last wednesday.

Yes, even with the newest kernel (3.13.0-35) the problem exists. You need to use 3.13.0-24

It has been two months and the status of the bug has not changed.

Another month, another kernel - 3-13.0-36 and the problem still exists. I now have 12 servers that can't be updated past 3.13.0.24 - Time to look for another distribution?

I can only confirm it kernel version higher than 3.13-0-24 will break domino servers.....

It's really a pity especially if it was fixed before any broke again.

Can you please help and try to fix it ?

Thanks

I use Domino 9.0.1FP1 and FP2 with kernel 3.13.0-37-generic - get the same error.
But when I retry several times (1-10) then in the end the port will bind.

This issue is a severe problem for us. If you just start domino server with no need use ldap there are some error messages. But if you have to use eg a samtime server you will recognize that ther service will not be able to start. Two of our customers have severe problems with this.

Are there any plans to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Still a problem in 3.13.0-39 and 3.13.0-40.47. This affects my own network and one of my clients. I can't use the 3.13 kernel this way. I have to use a different kernel just for setuid to work.

I wonder if it would make sense for someone to submit this again as a new bug? After 6 months with no solution and not much even in the way of acknowledgement, I wonder if it has somehow been forgotten. Perhaps a new bug report might get someone's attention?

Andy - can you clarify (or predict) which kernels will see the fix? From the above, it looks as if the fix will show up in 14.12 (vivid) but there does not seem to be any status listed for 14.04. I know a lot of clients want to stay with an LTS version.

Andy Whitcroft (apw) wrote :

@Ben -- the code is clear, the issue is the API is not clear. These issues have occurred because the userspace program is passing in junk in one of the fields of the structure it passes to the kernel, literally random bits from its stack. In attempting to validate those to prevent security issues this userspace application has been caught out. The main issue is the documentation for the call can be read to say you do not need to fill in that field under some circumstances, a failure in the documentation, but given that the validation needs to be more targetted; and this final fix does that, zapping the "not needed to be filled value" to zero when it is not required to avoid validation failures. The new code also documents this ABI weakness so that it should not occur.

Of course none of that excuses the userspace programmer from not initialising this structure sensibly regardless of the documentation. It is plain sloppy practice.

I will try to open a service request based on this information. Is there anything more specific information about which of the fields is passing on the junk?

Perhaps this could actually get fixed!

I'm working with IBM on this, trying to convince them to debug their bindsock binary. The initial hurdle, which I may or may not be able to overcome, is the boilerplate "Ubuntu is not a supported OS." I've offered to send them a virtual machine with the problem already present, we'll see how this goes.

If this re-appears again in a new kernel line (and you've come here from a google search from the future in your DeLorean, complete with Flux Capacitor), I also want to share another workaround I've found: build & install the vanilla kernel. I've tried it and it works. Here's a tutorial:

Ok, the PMR with IBM went about as expected.

"Unfortunately our level 3 support team will not pursue this issue seeing how it is not seen on current supported platforms of Unix."

So much for bindsock itself getting fixed.

Thanks for trying but I don't think anyone is too surprised. There was a time when the pride in the getting Domino perfect would have guaranteed a fix - now I'm afraid these resources are so limited at IBM there is little appetite to do anything beyond what is absolutely necessary.

I pushed a little harder with IBM and found out that an SPR (Software Problem Report) has been opened for the issue on SUSE 12, which also exhibits the same behavior:

SPR # YXYX9RA56Z "Error - Unable to Bind port 443 or 80" on SUSE12.

My representative quoted one of the developers as saying:

"There is a known issue with SLES 12 where bindsock has issues. Before we can support SLES 12 and any other newer kernel with this issue, we will have to identify the issue and get it fixed - bindsock and it's code has never changed in this area so the issue is a change in behavior in the kernel".

So, there is hope that there may be a future fixpack(s)(9.0.1 FP3?) where the issue may be addressed on the bindsock side. But, as one of my favorite quotes goes,

"Hope? Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. You'd better get used to that idea." -Red, Shawshank Redemption

SPR YXYX9RA56Z "HTTP server can't be started with "Error - Unable to Bind port 443 or 80" on SUSE12" has been resolved in 9.01 FP3 IF1 which includes a fixed bindock! Just tested on Ubuntu with 3.13 kernel, SMTP is binding and working properly there as well (unofficially, of course.) ;-)

Clarification: I tested 9.0.1 FP3 IF1 on a pre-fixed kernel: 3.13.0-43 and SMTP binds properly with the new bindsock binary.
