RHBA-2009:1593 - bogl bug fix update

Synopsis

bogl bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated bogl packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

Ben's Own Graphics Library (BOGL) is a small graphics library for Linux kernel frame buffers. It supports only very simple graphics. The bogl packages also include bterm, a Unicode-capable terminal program for the Linux frame buffer.

These updated packages provide a fix for the following bug:

  • when editing a file with vi from within the bterm console, a SIGSEGV error could occur, causing both vi and bterm to crash. This update adds a check that keeps "yorig" from equaling -1, which prevents the underlying memory reference error occurring. (BZ#517957)

All bogl users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
