RHBA-2017:3320 - util-linux bug fix update
Synopsis
util-linux bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated util-linux packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The util-linux packages contain a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, these include the mount tool and libmount library.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, using the "gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor" command in some cases generated a large amount of audit logs with "access denied" error messages. With this update, the checks for write access to the private library files that the libmount library performs have been adjusted to prevent the error messages from appearing. (BZ#1506533)
Users of util-linux 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.
