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 for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts, and then unmounts file systems after a period of
inactivity.
This updated package fixes the following bug:
- As it is used quite often, the Network File System (NFS) mount module is
pre-opened and cached by the "parse_sun" module, so that it can be accessed by
other modules very quickly. However, especially with a high number of
simultaneously running threads, it was possible for a race condition to arise,
causing the automount daemon to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault
(BZ#648411).
All users of the autofs daemon are advised to 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.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
