RHBA-2011:0295 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
python-pycurl bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated python-pycurl package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
PycURL is a Python interface to libcurl. PycURL is used to fetch objects
identified by a URL from a Python program, similar to the urllib Python module.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, calling the reset() method caused internal cURL
properties to be lost, including the pointer to an error buffer. Consequent to
this, when an error occurred, the resulting message could be empty. This update
prevents this pointer from being lost, and error messages are now displayed as
expected. (BZ#565654)
- When the reset() method was called, the number of references to the "Py_None"
object was not counted properly. Consequent to this, Python could terminate
unexpectedly with the following error message:
Fatal Python error: deallocating None
Aborted (core dumped)
With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this
issue, and references to the "Py_None" object are now counted as expected.
(BZ#624559)
All users of python-pycurl 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.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
