Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated upstart package that fixes a bug in utmp table updating is now
available.
Description
Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon, which handles
starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shut down, and
supervising them while the system is running.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When a mingetty session is terminated, the relevant entry in the utmp table is
now correctly set to "DEAD_PROCESS". (BZ#636487)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue. Note that after installing this update, a system reboot is required for
the above changes to take effect.
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
