Synopsis
vhostmd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated vhostmd packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6 for SAP.
Description
The Virtual Host Metrics Daemon (vhostmd) provides virtual machines with
information on the resource utilization of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux host on
which they are being run.
- Prior to this update,vhostmd did not set supplemental groups correctly when it
modified or excluded privileges. This update modifies vhostmd to allow for a
call to the initgroups or setgroups before checking the inituid or setuid. Now,
the groups are set as expected. (BZ#741289)
- Prior to this update, vhostmd used the perl script pagerate.pl for the
PageRates metrics which is not supported in the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor. This update removes the perl script. (BZ#749875)
- Prior to this update, the vhostmd startup script failed to remove the PID
file. As a consequence, the Remedial Action Scheme (RAS) logic did not work as
expected. This update modifies the vhostmd startup script so that PID file is
correctly removed. (BZ#766674)
All users of vhostmd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
