RHBA-2012:0794 - glib2 bug fix update


Synopsis

glib2 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated glib2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

GLib is a low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this upate, the gtester-report script was not marked as executable in the glib2-devel package. As a consequence, the gtester-report did not run with the default permissions. This update changes the glib2-devel package definition so that this script is now executable. (BZ#782194)

All users 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/
