Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated autofs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The daemon automatically mounts file systems when in use and unmounts them when they are not busy.
This update fixes the following bug:
- If an autofs mount reached a shutdown state, and a mount request arrived and was processed before the mount-handling thread read the shutdown notification, the mount-handling thread exited without cleaning up the autofs mount. As a consequence, the main program never reached its exit condition and entered an infinite loop, as the autofs-managed mount was left mounted. To fix this bug, the exit condition check now takes place after each request is processed, and cleanup operations are now performed if an autofs mount has reached its shutdown state. As a result, the autofs daemon now exits as expected at shutdown. (BZ#1333777)
Users of autofs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
