Synopsis
module-init-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated module-init-tools package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
module-init-tools is a kernel-related package that provides utilities for
automatically loading and unloading drivers, as well as finding out about
drivers that are installed on a given Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
- depmod configuration files allow end users to override a specific set of
kernel modules with external replacements via /etc/depmod.d. However,
module-init-tools did not correctly handle "override" statements in the
depmod.conf file could only override modules for all installed versions of
a kernel. Consequently, it was not possible to deliver driver update RPMs
targeted to specific kernel versions. This updated package makes kernel
version matching far more kernel-version specific and allows end-users to
specify kernel module replacements for a specific set of installed kernels
using wildcards in the configuration file.
All users of module-init-tools should upgrade to this updated package that
corrects this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
