RHBA-2004:665 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated dialog package
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated dialog package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Dialog is a utility that allows you to show dialog boxes (containing
questions or messages) in TTY (text mode) interfaces.
Previously, if the user typed a numbered hot key that is one greater than
the number of items in a menu dialog, the dialog utility would segfault,
leaving the terminal settings in a bad state.
All users of dialog should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
