7.79. hivex
Updated hivex packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Hivex is a library for extracting the contents of Windows Registry "hive" files, which is designed to be secure against corrupted or malicious registry files. Hive files are undocumented binary files.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#822741
- Previously, the description of the package contained inappropriate text. This update provides a correction of the language used and now, the spec file contains only neutral expressions.
- BZ#841924
- Certain hive files that had a very large number of child nodes under a single parent node could not be parsed. A patch has been added to allow read-only access to these child nodes.
Users of hivex are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
