am-utils bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2008:0518-2
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2008-06-05
Last updated on:	2008-06-05
Affected Products:	Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4.5.z) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4.5.z)

Details

An updated am-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.

The am-utils package provides the BSD automounter, Amd, which maintains a
cache of mounted file systems. File systems are mounted when they are first
referenced by a user, and unmounted after a period of inactivity.

The Amd daemon opened a new socket each time it performed an LDAP query.
These sockets were never closed, eventually leading to a segmentation
fault.

Users of am-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
