RHBA-2015:0656 - SDL bug fix update

Synopsis

SDL bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated SDL packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics frame buffer and audio device.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to the changes made to X Virtual Frame Buffer (Xvfb) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6, the XGrabPointer() function started to return a value of 0 if used on an SDL window placed outside the Xvfb root window boundaries. Consequently, if an SDL program expected the original return value, a problem could occur. With this update, the SDL library conforms to the new behavior, and programs using this library now work as expected. (BZ#1125304)

Users of SDL 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.
