RHBA-2012:1451 - cdrkit bug fix update

Synopsis

cdrkit bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The cdrkit packages contain a collection of CD/DVD utilities for generating the ISO9660 file-system and burning media.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, overlapping memory was handled incorrectly. As a consequence, newly created paths could be garbled when calling "genisoimage" with the "-graft-points" option to graft the paths at points other than the root directory. This update modifies the underlying code to generate graft paths as expected. (BZ#797990)

All users of cdrkit 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
