|---|---|
| Type: | Product Enhancement Advisory |
| Severity: | N/A |
| Issued on: | 2011-12-06 |
| Last updated on: | 2011-12-06 |
| Affected Products: | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) |
Details
An updated libnih package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
The libnih package includes a small library for C application development. The
library is similar to other C libraries, such as glib.
This update adds the following enhancement:
* Previously, the libnih package was compiled without the read-only relocations
(RELRO) flag. Programs built against the libnih library could be vulnerable to
various attacks based on overwriting the ELF section of a program. To enhance
the security, the libnih package is now provided with partial RELRO support.
(BZ#727284)
All users of libnih are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds
this enhancement.
