RHBA-2011:1284 - xmlrpc-c bug fix update
Synopsis
xmlrpc-c bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated xmrlpc-c packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The xmrlpc-c packages provide a network protocol to allow a client program to make a simple RPC (remote procedure call) over the Internet. It converts the RPC into an XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response in XML.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the GSSAPI credential delegation was disabled due to a security issue. As a result, the functionality of applications that relied on delegation was broken. This update adds a new constructor argument in the xmlrpc-c++ client API to set the new CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION libcurl option to enable the credential delegation. All applications that use xmlrpc-c with GSSAPI credential delegation can now apply this new constructor to run as expected. (BZ#729793)
Users of xmlrpc-c are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
