RHBA-2011:1225 - libcgroup bug fix update
Synopsis
libcgroup bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated libcgroup package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libcgroup package provides tools and libraries to control and monitor control groups.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, when installing the libcgroup package, a new group "cgred" was erroneously created as a user group (starting with GID 500) and not as a system group (with GID lower than 500). As a result, newly created users could have had UID different to GID. With this update, the "cgred" group is now created correctly as the system group with GID lower than 500. This update does not change GID of the "cgred" group if the group already exists on the system. (BZ#715413)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated libcgroup package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
