-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-22218 2013-11-27 03:58:17 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libtirpc Product : Fedora 19 Version : 0.2.3 Release : 4.fc19 URL : http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/ Summary : Transport Independent RPC Library Description : This package contains SunLib's implementation of transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) documentation. This library forms a piece of the base of Open Network Computing (ONC), and is derived directly from the Solaris 2.3 source. TI-RPC is an enhanced version of TS-RPC that requires the UNIX System V Transport Layer Interface (TLI) or an equivalent X/Open Transport Interface (XTI). TI-RPC is on-the-wire compatible with the TS-RPC, which is supported by almost 70 vendors on all major operating systems. TS-RPC source code (RPCSRC 4.0) remains available from several internet sites. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Race on getnetconfig.c leads to crash during fclose, endnetconfig, getnetconfig Using tirpc (0.2.1-6) instead of the RPC functions in glibc there are segfaults on file operations, mostly on fclose() in endnetconfig() but sometimes on fgets() in getnetconfig(). Debugging they all seem to be due to NULL nc_file. There are multiple threads involved, according to the included README the clnt_* functions should be thread safe. But there are race condition here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 25 2013 Steve Dickson <[email protected]> 0.2.3-4 - Update to latest RC release: libtirpc-0-2-4-rc3 (bz 1034438) * Mon Jul 1 2013 Steve Dickson <[email protected]> 0.2.3-3 - Update to latest RC release: libtirpc-0-2-4-rc2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1034438 - Race on getnetconfig.c leads to crash during fclose, endnetconfig, getnetconfig https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1034438 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
