Description Thomas Wabner 2014-03-13 13:00:50 UTC

Some package creates or updates the /etc/hosts.deny file with permission 600.

After restarting cyrus following entries in "dmesg":

imapd[29028]: segfault at 6 ip 00007f5fd3aebe22 sp 00007fffa8f94ad0 error 4 in libwrap.so.0.7.6[7f5fd3ae8000+8000]

>cyradm -u cyrus localhost

No error or output

After changing the permission to 644 and a restart, all things are fine again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create file /etc/hosts.deny with permission 600
2. Restart cyrus
Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
Normal running imapd

is this still happening with 3.0.4? If that is the case I would report it to upstream
