RHBA-2012:0365 - gmp bug fix update

Synopsis

gmp bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated gmp package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The gmp package contains GNU MP, a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, signed integers operations, rational numbers and floating point numbers. GNU MP is designed for speed, for both small and very large operands.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the interface provided by the gmp library was changed. This resulted in one exported symbol being absent in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (when compared to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system). In addition, the symbol could have been reported as missing under certain circumstances. To fix this problem, this update adds the missing symbol back to the library. (BZ#798771)

All users of gmp 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.

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
