RHBA-2012:1435 - usbredir bug fix update
Synopsis
usbredir bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated usbredir packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The usbredir packages provide a network protocol for sending USB device traffic over a network connection and a number of libraries to help implement support for this protocol.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to a bug in the libusbredirhost library, handling of timeouts for bulk transfers did not work correctly. Consequently, traffic of USB ACM serial port devices, such as PSTN modems and SmartCard readers, could not be properly redirected. With this update, no timeout is set on the usb-host side for these devices and the traffic redirection works as expected. (BZ#858776)
Users who use USB redirection for Spice 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
