Synopsis
glibc-kernheaders bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated glibc-kernheaders package which fixes a bug and adds an
enhancement is now available.
Description
The glibc-kernheaders package includes the C header files from the Linux
kernel. The header files define structures and constants that are needed
for building standard programs and rebuilding the glibc package.
This update addresses the following bug:
- The <linux/nfs_mount.h> header file described an older version of the
mount data protocol, causing "mount version older than kernel" messages.
This update corrects the issue causing the "mount version older than
kernel" messages not to appear.
As well, this updated package adds the following enhancement:
- The <asm/ptrace.h> header file on PowerPC has been updated with new
features such as the GETVRREGS and SETVRREGS operations for manipulating
Altivec registers.
Users of glibc-kernheaders are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
