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 Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides network
information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all
of the machines on a network.
This updated ypserv package fixes the following bug:
- Due to a string concatenation error in the code, running the "yppasswdd"
command and using the "-x" option, which instructs yppasswdd to pass data to an
external program to update the source files and maps, could have caused garbage
characters to be inserted in front of the username, thus causing the output to
become unparseable. This has been resolved in this updated package by changing
the operation to a string-copy, with the result that the username is no longer
corrupted when using the "-x" option. (BZ#688237)
All users of ypserv are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
