Possible bug in acl.c



Assumption: the following ACL should result in $0 being expanded for the set:

access to dn.one="ou=hosts,dc=example,dc=com" attrs=authorizedService
        by set.expand="[cn=access,$0]/member* & user" compare
        by * =rsdx break

Reason for assumption: man slapd.access states:
   Forms of the <what> clause other than regex may provide  submatches  as
   well.   The  base(object), the sub(tree), the one(level), and the chil-
   dren forms  provide  $0  as  the  match  of  the  entire  string.   The
   sub(tree),  the  one(level),  and the children forms also provide $1 as
   the match of the rightmost part of the DN  as  defined  in  the  <what>
   clause.

Bug: does not work as expected. The reason is that in slap.h slap_style_t starts with ACL_STYLE_REGEX = 0, so any structure that uses slap_style_t and uses memset to null out the structure will have its default style be ACL_STYLE_REGEX. In acl.c there are 4 places where you test for ACL_STYLE_REGEX on a->acl_attrval_style without checking if an actual attribute value was supplied. The patch below fixes those cases. The better (arguably) fix would be to change slap_style_t to start with ACL_STYLE_NONE = 0, and then explicitly set the style when it is encountered in aclparse.c. However, I did not want to change slap.h in case it changes some ABI and the change to aclparse.c is larger.

As things currently stand, dn.expand, set.expand and group.expand will not expand $0 and $1 as documented if you use dn.{base,one,sub,children} in the what clause.

If my assumptions are correct and this should work, I will file a proper bug in ITS.
