Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated python-gudev package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Python-gudev is one of the core components for Red Hat Network (RHN)
registration process.
This updated python-gudev package fixes the following bug:
- Under some circumstances, using the 'rhn_register' command to register a
system with the Red Hat Network (RHN) might fail. When this issue is
encountered, the 'rhn_register' command will return an error similar to:
# rhn_register
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
or
# rhn_register
- **MEMORY-ERROR***: rhn_register[11525]: GSlice: assertion failed:
sinfo->n_allocated > 0
Aborted (core dumped)
With this update, the aforementioned errors are no longer returned and using the
'rhn_register' command works as expected. (BZ#637084)
All users of python-gudev 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
