RHBA-2012:0878 - gnome-keyring bug fix update

Synopsis

gnome-keyring bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gnome-keyring packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The gnome-keyring session daemon manages passwords and other types of secrets for the user, storing them encrypted with a main password. Applications can use the gnome-keyring library to integrate with the keyring.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the mechanism for locking threads was missing. Due to this, gnome-keyring could have, under certain circumstances, terminated unexpectedly on multiple key requests from the integrated ssh-agent. With this update, the missing mechanism has been integrated into gnome-keyring so that gnome-keyring now works as expected. (BZ#708919, BZ#745695)

All users of gnome-keyring are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

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
