RHBA-2008:1015 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
autofs bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated autofs package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The
automount daemon automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and
unmounts them when they are not busy.
This updated autofs package fixes a bug which caused a segmentation fault
in autofs when it checked map entries with multiple servers for which none
were available. This was due to a NULL pointer dereference that has been
fixed in this updated package, thus resolving the issue.
All users of autofs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
