RHBA-2013:0724 - corosync bug fix update
Synopsis
corosync bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated corosync packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
The Corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When running applications which used the Corosync IPC library, some messages in the dispatch() function were lost or duplicated. This update properly checks the return values of the dispatch_put() function, returns the correct remaining bytes in the IPC ring buffer, and ensures that the IPC client is correctly informed about the real number of messages in the ring buffer. Now, messages in the dispatch() function are no longer lost or duplicated. (BZ#929098)
Users of corosync 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.
