Synopsis
kernel-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kernel-utils packages are now available.
Description
The kernel-utils package contains several utilities that can be used to
control the kernel or your machine's hardware. Included are:
- dmidecode - gives information about the bios and motherboard revisions
- microcode_ctl - updates the microcode on Intel cpu's
- smartctl - monitors the health of your disks
The microcode_ctl program has been updated to version 1.13, which provides
newer microcode updates for older CPUs, as well as several newer CPU models.
A bug in smartmontools that caused smartd to fail to start in some
situations due to a drive being incorrectly included in /etc/smartd.conf
was fixed.
The hardlink utility was shipped without a man page which is now added in
this update.
All users of kernel-utils should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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.
