Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated gfs2-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gfs2-utils packages provide the user-space utilities necessary to mount,
create, maintain and test GFS2 file systems.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, an overly long cluster name in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf
could cause a buffer overflow when running fsck.gfs2 on a GFS2 file system with
a corrupt super block. This update modifies the underlying code to to ensure
that the cluster name is truncated appropriately when the super block is being
rebuilt. Now, this buffer overflow condition is prevented. (BZ#838910)
All users of gfs2-utils 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
