Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ypserv package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The ypserv package contains the Network Information Service (NIS) server, a
system that provides network information (that is, login names, passwords, home
directories, and group information) to other machines in the network.
This update fixes the following bug:
- due to an incorrect handling of pointers, using ypinit to build the S390x NIS
slave server against the Solaris 10 UltraSPARC NIS master resulted in the
following error:
- ** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x00000200001a1000 ***
With this update, the slave server no longer stops responding when the invalid
pointer is freed, and ypinit builds a set of administrative system maps as
expected. (BZ#598924)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated ypserv package, which resolve this
issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
