Topic

An updated make package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

GNU make is a tool for controlling the generation of executables and other
non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Users can build
and install packages by using make without any significant knowledge about the
details of the build process.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, memory corruption could occur in an "eval" expression if

one of its sub-expressions was assigned to the same variable. An upstream patch
has been applied to address this issue, and memory corruption no longer appears
in the described scenario. (BZ#699911)

All users of make are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.

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
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
