            Bug ID: 22041
           Summary: NSS persistently caches transient dlopen errors
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.26
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nss
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
        Depends on: 22040
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security-

This can lead to permanent loss of NSS functionality in a process:

This is another potential root cause for the failure reported in bug 20532.

Dealing with dlopen failures requires proper failure detection and a new
(internal) interface; see bug 22040.
