RHBA-2007:0278 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ltrace packages that fix several ltrace bugs, are now available.

Description

The ltrace utility is a debugging program that runs a specified command
until the command exits. While the command is executing, ltrace intercepts
and records both the dynamic library calls called by the executed process
and the signals received by the executed process. Ltrace can also intercept
and print system calls executed by the process.

This update brings fixes for tracing across exec and fork system calls.

Users of ltrace are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
