Synopsis
psacct bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated psacct packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
The psacct packages contain utilities for monitoring process activities,
including ac, lastcomm, accton, dump-acct and sa. The "ac" command displays
statistics about how long users have been logged on. The "lastcomm" command
displays information about previously executed commands. The "accton" command
turns process accounting on or off. The "dump-acct" command transforms the
output file from the accton format to a human-readable format. The "sa" command
summarizes information about previously executed commands.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, improper data type detection could have caused an arithmetic
overflow. As a consequence, the dump-acct tool reported incorrect elapsed time
values. A patch has been applied so that correct values are reported with this
update. (BZ#828725)
All users of psacct are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
