RHBA-2013:0326 - libdbi bug fix update
Synopsis
libdbi bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated libdbi packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libdbi packages provide implementation of a database-independent abstraction layer in the C language. This framework allows programmers to write one generic set of code that works with multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, when processing query results, the last row of a query result was not freed due to an off-by-one logic error. This resulted in a memory leak that could become significant after processing a large number of query results. This update corrects an incorrect test condition in the underlying source code and memory leaks no longer occur in this scenario. (BZ#733413)
All users of libdbi 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.
