RHBA-2015:1428 - 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 using 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:

• Prior to this update, the gvfsd-gphoto2 utility did not verify whether it received the data when getting information on the camera attached storage. Consequently, gvfsd-gphoto2 could terminate unexpectedly if the data was not received. Now, gvfsd-gphoto2 verifies whether the data was received, and no longer crashes in the described situation. (BZ#1165676)

• The gvfsd-metadata daemon did not correctly handle the situation when an application tried to save a metadata entry larger than the size of a journal file, that is, larger than 32 kB. The daemon wrote all changes from the journal to the metadata database to make more space for the entry and then created a new journal file. This operation was repeated in an infinite loop unnecessarily, overloading the CPU and disk. With this update, the operation is retried only once. As a result, the metadata entry is not saved if it is too large, and gvfsd-metadata returns a warning instead. (BZ#1210203)

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