Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated parted packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Advanced Update Support.
Description
The parted packages provide tools to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy
hard disk partitions. The parted program can be used for creating space for new
operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the parted utility did not correctly handle disks or disk images where the backup GUID Partition Table (GPT) header was missing or could not be found at the expected location at the end of the disk. Consequently, parted terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update backports patches from parted version 2.1-29 to fix GPT backup header handling, and parted now works as expected. (BZ#1650381)
Users of parted 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.
