RHBA-2015:0237 - gvfs bug fix update

Synopsis

gvfs bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gvfs packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

GVFS is the GNOME Desktop Virtual File System layer that allows users to easily access local and remote data via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), Common Internet File System (CIFS), Server Message Block (SMB), and other protocols. GVFS integrates with the GNOME I/O (GIO) abstraction layer.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the GNOME Desktop Virtual File System (GVFS) trash implementation did not take access permissions into consideration when creating file monitors for mount points. Consequently, file monitors were polling files without read access permissions, preventing AutoFS mount points from expiring as they normally would when not in use for some time. With this update, the trash implementation no longer creates file monitors to monitor files without read access permissions. As a result, AutoFS mount points can now freely expire. (BZ#998061)

• Prior to this update, gvfs‑gdu‑volume‑monitor did not verify whether it received the data when getting the pool of GNOME Disk Utility (GDU) devices. Consequently, the gvfs‑gdu‑volume‑monitor process could terminate unexpectedly if the data was not received. Now, gvfs‑gdu‑volume‑monitor verifies whether the data was received, and no longer crashes. (BZ#1140451)

Users of GVFS are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
