busybox bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated busybox packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
BusyBox is a binary that combines a large number of common system utilities into
a single executable. BusyBox provides replacements for most GNU file utilities,
shell utilities, and other command-line tools.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the "echo" command in ash shell was handling write
errors incorrectly: after an error, the data intended to be written was not
discarded but saved in a buffer. As a consequence, the data could be used in
subsequent invocations of "echo". This update fixes the underlying code, and
"echo" no longer saves data to a buffer in case of a write error. (BZ#1186636)
Users of busybox 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
