Synopsis
strace bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated strace packages that fix one bug are now available.
Description
The strace program intercepts and records the system calls that are made and the signals that are received by processes.
The following issue has been addressed:
- when a stopped process being examined by strace is killed, strace now reports the event correctly. The prime example is a SIGKILL being sent to a traced process.
Users of strace should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolves this bug.
