RHBA-2011:1745 - libtirpc bug fix update
Synopsis
libtirpc bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated libtirpc package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
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 bug:
- Due to certain errors and missing code in libtirpc, user space NFS servers were not able to fully utilize the RPCSEC_GSS security protocol, which allows remote procedure call (RPC) protocols to access the Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-API). With this update, the problems have been fixed in the libtirpc code. The RPCSEC_GSS protocol now can be used by NFS servers properly. (BZ#714015)
All users of libtirpc are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
