RHBA-2008:0824 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
strace bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated strace package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The strace program intercepts and records the system calls that are called
and received by a running process.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- on Intel Itanium-based systems, using the strace "-f" option to trace a
process that was creating a new thread, caused the thread that was being
created to crash.
- on Intel Itanium-based systems, using the strace "-f" option to trace a
process that was calling the "vfork()" system call, caused strace to hang.
In this updated package, strace works correctly with processes that call
the "vfork()" system call on Intel Itanium-based systems.
Users of strace are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
