Description:   Opened: 2004-04-25 13:24 0000 
bacula-1.34.0 has a race condition when backing up multiple hosts:

  major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
  simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
  blocked another because of resource usage. This caused a deadlock
  and CPU usage. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Schedule multiple jobs at the same time
2. Let them run

Actual Results:  
bacula-dir will race after the first backup job completes


this bug is fixed in bacula-1.34.1

I have added 1.34.1 and removed 1.34.0. 1.34.0 wasnt marked stable so neither
was 1.34.1.

Reassigning bug to security@ for further processing.
Adding arches from

zul,
Anything your aware of that would prevent this package from going stable?

Nope, i just marked it stable for x86.

It's in the Changelog for Bacula-1.34.1 which can be found here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/bacula/bacula/ChangeLog?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.120

Look under April 18 2004

Stable on sparc (though we didn't have a stable release before).

------- Comment #6 From Bryn Hughes 2004-04-28 11:52:01 0000 ------- 
With regards to the specific versions affected, I believe this bug ONLY affects
1.34.0, there were quite a few changes between 1.32 and 1.34.  From further
testing I believe this bug is only triggered when a SpoolDevice is defined and
enabled - this feature only exists in >=bacula-1.34.0.  <bacula-1.34.0 should
NOT be affected by this bug.

------- Comment #7 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-05-04 07:18:36 0000 ------- 
We don't really need ppc stable as it was never stable on ppc anyway, so
bacula-1.34.1 is ready for a GLSA, but I'm not sure one is needed...

------- Comment #8 From Kurt Lieber 2004-05-06 04:50:58 0000 ------- 
this is more of a bug than a security vulnerability.  I don't think a glsa is
needed in this particular case. 

closing as fixed.
