RHBA-2005:130 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
strace bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated strace packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The strace program intercepts and records the system calls that are called
and the signals that are received by processes.
The previous version of strace had multiple bugs resulting in incorrect or
incomplete output for certain system calls. On the AMD64 and Intel EM64T
platforms, when tracing a 32-bit (i386) process, incorrect values were
shown for the third and later arguments to a system call. On the Itanium
platform, several system calls were not recognized. Several ioctl commands
used with networking sockets are now displayed in more detail.
Users of strace should install these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
