Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated crash packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The crash packages provide the core analysis suite, which is a self-contained tool that can be used to investigate live systems, as well as kernel core dumps created by the kexec-tools packages or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Kernel CVE-2014-9322 removed the stackfault exception stack, which in turn
caused the crash utility to generate incorrect backtraces for any active tasks whose backtrace started from a kernel exception stack. A patch has been provided to fix this bug, and crash now produces valid backtraces. (BZ#1577089)
Users of crash 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.
