RHBA-2011:0747 - libtirpc bug fix update
Synopsis
libtirpc bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated libtirpc package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The libtirpc package contains SunLib's implementation of transport independent RPC (TI-RPC) documentation. This includes a library required by programs in the nfs-utils and rpcbind packages.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Binaries in the nfs-utils package located in /sbin relied on shared libraries located in /usr. This has been fixed so that nfs-utils binaries installed in /sbin no longer rely on shared libraries in /usr/lib. (BZ#558937)
-
Previously certain files were under SISSL license. These files are now under the BSD license and are marked with the "Copyright (c) 2010, Oracle America, Inc." license text. (BZ#628682)
-
In a multi-homed NFS server with two IP addresses on the same subnet, mount operations sent to one IP address would result in a reply from the other IP address. This is now fixed to ensure that a mount request to one IP address elicits a response from the same IP address. (BZ#676234)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
