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.

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/
