Synopsis

Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated piranha package that fixes two bugs is now available.
Description
Piranha provides high availability and load balancing services for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. It includes various tools to administer and configure
the Linux Virtual Server as well as heartbeating and failover components.
The LVS is a dynamically adjusted kernel routing mechanism that provides
load balancing primarily for web and ftp servers though other services are
supported.
The following bugs have been fixed:
- MS-DOS style newlines in a config file caused pulse to core dump
- memory leak in nanny
Users of Piranha are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
