RHBA-2012:0867 - libcgroup bug fix update
Synopsis
libcgroup bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated libcgroup packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libcgroup packages provides tools and libraries to control and monitor control groups.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, a bug in the libcgroup package caused admin_id and admin_gid to not be displayed correctly because cgroup control files were not differentiated from the 'tasks' file. This update fixes this problem by adding a check in the 'cgroup_fill_cgc()' function to see if a file is a 'tasks' file or not. (BZ#758493)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated libcgroup 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
