RHBA-2012:0373 - corosync bug fix update

Synopsis

corosync bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated corosync packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the range condition for the update_aru() function could cause incorrect check of message IDs. Due to this, in rare cases, the corosync utility entered the "FAILED TO RECEIVE" state, and so failed to receive multicast packets. With this update, the range value in the update_aru() function is no longer checked for; the fail_to_recv_const constant performs such checks. Now, corosync does not fail to receive packets. (BZ#791236)

All users of corosync 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.
