-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-14347 2013-08-06 22:06:15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : lvm2 Product : Fedora 19 Version : 2.02.98 Release : 11.fc19 URL : http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2 Summary : Userland logical volume management tools Description : LVM2 includes all of the support for handling read/write operations on physical volumes (hard disks, RAID-Systems, magneto optical, etc., multiple devices (MD), see mdadd(8) or even loop devices, see losetup(8)), creating volume groups (kind of virtual disks) from one or more physical volumes and creating one or more logical volumes (kind of logical partitions) in volume groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a bug in handling LVM metadata areas while using lvmetad. There was an integer overflow which caused lseek errors or even a data corruption if the metadata area offset/size is more than 4GiB (32+ bit offset/size). The bug could be hit mostly when using two metadata copies where the second copy is placed at the end of the underlying disk. This update also adds requirement for latest device-mapper-persistent-data package which is needed for proper thin provisioning support in LVM. It also fixes an incorrect requirement for utin-linux package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Aug 6 2013 Peter Rajnoha <[email protected]> - 2.02.98-11 - Fix metadata area offset/size overflow if it's >= 4g and while using lvmetad. - Require the newest device-mapper-persistent-data-0.2.3-1. - Fix spec file's util-linux version definition for proper expansion when used. * Fri Jul 26 2013 Peter Rajnoha <[email protected]> - 2.02.98-10 - Respect lvmetad global filter in pvscan --cache with a device. - Fix segfault if devices/global_filter is not specified correctly. - Use LOG_DEBUG/ERR msg severity instead default for lvm2-activation-generator. - Do not include /lib/udev and /lib/udev/rules.d in device-mapper package. - Fix some incorrect changelog dates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #993973 - lseek errors or possible data corruption due to integer overflow in metadata area handling while using lvmetad https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=993973 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
