[Bug 2068729] Re: pam_radius_auth: Failed to open RADIUS IPv6 socket: Address family not supported by protocol

[Paride Legovini]

Hello, we'll likely have to figure out what other commits we need to
bring in into the Noble patch. But first, some questions. Is this error

user at ubuntu:~$ sudo vi /etc/passwd
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted (core dumped)

due to the fact that you configured /etc/pam.d/sudo to authenticate
using radius? Does `sudo true` also crash?

It would be helpful to have a reproducer of this crash from a clean
Noble system. Ideally something on these lines:

$ lxc launch ubuntu:noble reprocontainer
$ lxc exec reprocontainer bash
# add-apt-repository ppa:lvoytek/libpam-radius-auth-ipv4-6-yes-no
# apt update && apt install ...
# vim /etc/pam.d/..., remove X, add Y
# sudo ...
[crash!]

Would you be able to come up with something like that and share it?

Thanks!

  pam_radius_auth: Failed to open RADIUS IPv6 socket: Address family not
  supported by protocol

Status in libpam-radius-auth package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  New and fully updated 24.04 LTS with disabled IPv6 (The CISA secure
  config states that IPv6 is to be disabled unless it's in use).

  lsb_release -rd:
  No LSB modules are available.
  Description:    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  Release:        24.04

  apt-cache policy libpam-radius-auth
  libpam-radius-auth:

  What you expected to happen:
  Based on https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/pam_radius/blob/master/src/pam_radius_auth.c, the pam_radius_auth module must support ipv6 and ipv4 options.

  /etc/pam.d/sshd:
  auth       sufficient   pam_radius_auth.so  conf=/etc/pam_radius_auth.conf retry=3 ipv4=yes ipv6=no debug
