-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-7193 2010-04-22 22:22:21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : elfutils Product : Fedora 12 Version : 0.147 Release : 1.fc12 URL : https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/ Summary : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled objects Description : Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), and elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes several bugs in elfutils libraries and tools, including one that could cause tools to crash when processing core files and another that could cause tools to crash when examining DWARF CFI. The handling of CFI now copes as best as possible with invalid CFI cases that GCC could emit in ix86 code before a recent GCC fix. The libdwfl support for kernel module objects now copes with certain spurious relocation records left by ld -r before a recent binutils fix. This update also adds the new function dwfl_core_file_report to the libdwfl (-ldw) library, to let applications using this library handle core files like utilities' --core command-line option does. This update also adds some translations for elfutils messages, supplied by the Fedora Translation Project. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 3 2010 Roland McGrath <[email protected]> - 0.147-1 - Update to 0.147 * Wed Apr 21 2010 Roland McGrath <[email protected]> - 0.146-1 - Update to 0.146 - libdwfl: New function dwfl_core_file_report. - libelf: Fix handling of phdrs in truncated file.
