RHBA-2015:0798 - lsscsi bug fix update

Synopsis

lsscsi bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The lsscsi utility uses information provided by the sysfs pseudo file system in Linux kernel 2.6 and later series to list small computer system interface (SCSI) devices or all SCSI hosts attached to the system. Options can be used to control the amount and form of information provided for each device.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The lsscsi package has been updated to properly detect and decode the SCSI "protection_type" and "integrity" flags. Previously, the lsscsi package tried to read the "protection_type" and "integrity" flags from a location in the sysfs file system where they were not expected to be found. With this update, lsscsi now uses the proper file locations to identify these flags. (BZ#1009883)

Users of lsscsi 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.
