RHBA-2012:1317 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
strace bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated strace packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The strace packages provide an utility to intercept and record the system calls
called and received by a running process. The strace utility can print a record
of each system call, its arguments, and its return value. The strace utility is
useful for diagnosing, debugging, and instructional purposes.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the strace utility used magic breakpoints in the process startup
code to detect and control process startup. Consequently, under certain
circumstances, the %ebx register could be corrupted around the clone syscall
within the libc_fork() function, which could cause an application to terminate
unexpectedly with a segmentation fault while under strace control. This update
changes strace to use the TRACE{FORK,VFORK,CLONE} ptrace capabilities which
provide a cleaner, less error-prone interface to monitor and control process
startup when tracing, thus preventing this bug. (BZ#849052)
All users of strace are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
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 use the Red
