RHBA-2012:0908 - libbonobo bug fix update
Synopsis
libbonobo bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated libbonobo packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libbonobo packages contain the libraries for bonobo, which is a component system based on CORBA, used by the GNOME desktop.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the activation server handled parse errors incorrectly, for example as incorrectly nested tags, in server files. As a consequence, the activation server could, under certain circumstances, unexpectedly terminate with an abort signal upon encountering invalid server files in the activation path. This update modifies the underlying code so that invalid files no longer cause unexpected termination. (BZ#728458)
All users of libbonobo 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
