-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-3738 2012-03-15 01:35:57 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ElectricFence Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.2.2 Release : 33.fc16 URL : http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ElectricFence/ Summary : A debugger which detects memory allocation violations Description : ElectricFence is a utility for C programming and debugging. ElectricFence uses the virtual memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns malloc() buffer boundaries, and/or to detect any accesses of memory released by free(). ElectricFence will then stop the program on the first instruction that caused a bounds violation and you can use your favorite debugger to display the offending statement. Install ElectricFence if you need a debugger to find malloc() violations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Add a patch that implements malloc_usable_size -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Mar 12 2012 Petr Machata <[email protected]> - 2.2.2-33 - Add a patch that implements malloc_usable_size - Resolves: #772306 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #772306 - [enh] ElectricFence does not support malloc_usable_size() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772306 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
