RHBA-2018:0162 - libdb bug fix update
Synopsis
libdb bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated libdb packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The libdb packages provide the Berkeley Database, an embedded database supporting both traditional and client/server applications.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the libdb database did not lock its internal buffers in the correct order when it accessed pages located in an off-page duplicate (OPD) tree while processing operations on a cursor. A writer process accessed first the primary tree and then the OPD tree while a reader process did the same in the reverse order. When a writer process accessed a page from the primary tree while a reader process accessed a page from the OPD tree, the processes were unable to access the page from the other tree because the pages were simultaneously locked by the other process. This consequently caused a deadlock in libdb because neither of the processes released their locks. With this update, the btree version of the "cursor->get" method has been modified to lock the tree's pages in the same order as the writing methods, that is, the primary tree first and the OPD tree second. As a result, deadlocks in libdb no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#1526929)
Users of libdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
