RHBA-2013:0494 - netcf bug fix update
Synopsis
netcf bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated netcf packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The netcf packages contain a library for modifying the network configuration of a system. Network configuration is expressed in a platform-independent XML format, which netcf translates into changes to the system's "native" network configuration files.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the netcf utility had been calling the nl_cache_mngt_provide() function in the libnl library, which was not thread-safe. Consequently, the libvirtd daemon could terminate unexpectedly. As nl_cache_mngt_provide() was not necessary for proper operation, it is no longer called by netcf, thus preventing this bug. (BZ#886862)
Users of netcf 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
