Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated libunwind package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The libunwind package provides a portable C-based API for determining the
call-chain of a program. As well, libunwind makes it possible to manipulate
the saved state of a call-frame, and resume execution at any call-chain
point.
For source code built with GCC 4.1, or the Intel(r) C++ Compiler, libunwind
may have been unable to generate full backtraces, or would hang when a
backtrace occurred.
Users of libunwind are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
