RHBA-2012:0026 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
busybox bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated busybox packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
BusyBox is a binary that combines a large number of common system utilities into
a single executable. BusyBox provides replacements for most GNU fileutils,
shellutils, and so on.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the findfs command did not release used file descriptors.
Therefore, the system could run out of free file descriptors on the systems with
a large amount (thousands) of block devices. As a consequence, findfs failed to
check all existing block devices on the system which could cause other problems,
such as a kdump service failure. This update modifies BusyBox so that findfs now
releases file descriptors properly and checks all block devices as expected.
(BZ#761532)
All users of BusyBox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
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
