RHBA-2012:0558 - openais bug fix update

Synopsis

openais bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated openais packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The openais package contains the openais executable, OpenAIS service handlers, default configuration files and an init script. The OpenAIS Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified implementation of the Service Availability Forum AIS. The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and a set of policies for developing applications that maintain services during failures.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • OpenIAS previously performed the incorrect test of the message ID range in the update_aru() function. This could cause OpenAIS to fail to receive multicast packet transmissions with the "FAILED TO RECEIVE" error message. This update removes the incorrect test so that OpenAIS no longer fails in this scenario, and proper checks of the message ID range are performed using the fail_to_recv_const constant. (BZ#812302)

All users of openais 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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
