Synopsis
coreutils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated coreutils packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The coreutils packages contain the GNU Core Utilities and represent a
combination of the previously used GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils
packages.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- The "su" command was incorrectly evaluating exit statuses of its child
processes. Consequently, when a program ran by the "su" utility was killed, an
incorrect error message, "Killed (core dumped)", was reported. With this update,
the message has been amended, and "su" prints the correct message, "Killed",
when its child process is killed, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#1266380)
- Prior to this update, the "ls" command did not use any optimization for
expensive system calls getting Access Control Lists (ACL), SELinux, and
extending attributes. This led to wasting of resources on file systems, where
these attributes are not supported. With this update, the syscall result is now
cached on file systems, and no other system calls for gathering attributes are
required for the device if it lacks support for the specific feature.
(BZ#1273823)
Users of coreutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
