RHBA-2005:519 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ia32el bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated ia32el package that fixes a bug in the emulator is now available.
Description
The ia32el package contains the IA-32 Execution Layer platform, which allows
emulation of IA-32 binaries on Itanium.
Intel has discovered a bug in the IA-32EL emulator. In some rare
situations, this bug could result in conditional jump or conditional move
instructions
behaving as if flags contained different values.
Users of ia32el should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
