RHBA-2013:1654 - cifs-utils bug fix update

Synopsis

cifs-utils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated cifs-utils packages that fix one bug are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The SMB/CIFS protocol is a standard file sharing protocol widely deployed on Microsoft Windows machines. This package contains tools for mounting shares on Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The tools in this package work in conjunction with support in the kernel to allow one to mount a SMB/CIFS share onto a client and use it as if it were a standard Linux file system.

This update fixes the following bug:

Due to a bug in the underlying code, the setcifsacl utility did not process multiple comma-separated access control lists (ACLs) correctly. Consequently, setcifsacl became unresponsive when processing such ACLs on the command line. This bug has been fixed, and setcifsacl now handles multiple comma-separated ACLs as expected. (BZ#905721)

Users of cifs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
