Error description
With IV64726 installed and under stress conditions, any application using security functions might assert with : Assertion failed: *retp == rec, file common_file.c, line 2730 Abort(coredump) The stack will end with : pthread_kill(??, ??) at 0x900000000563f94 _p_raise(??) at 0x9000000005637e4 raise.raise(??) at 0x900000001790268 abort() at 0x9000000017ab864 __assert_c99(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x9000000018267c0 ckfile_index_char(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x9000000018e0b98
Local fix
If IV64726 is installed by emgr, remove it. also mkpasswd -d will remove the indexes and avoid that code path, but will loose its performance benefit.
Problem summary
telnetd core dump
Problem conclusion
Add appropriate check for status in ckfile_index_char() before assert.
Temporary fix
