Details
An updated procps package that fixes incorrect reporting of memory
processes and fixes incorrect internal UID and GID usage is now available.
The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide system
information. The procps package includes ps, free, skill, snice, tload,
top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch.
The following issues have been addressed:
- The ps command sometimes showed a wrong value for VSZ. This has been
fixed.
- Bad data type usage for UID and GID has been fixed. It produced
unexpected results for UID greater than 32000.
All users of procps should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
