Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated strace packages that fix multiple bugs are now available.
Description
The strace program intercepts and records the system calls that are made
and the signals that are received by processes.
These packages contain version 4.5.18 of strace. Among other bug fixes and
enhancements, the following bugs have been fixed:
- Problems with tracing clone, fork and vfork on ia64 and x86_64.
- Print SO_NODEFER, SA_RESETHAND instead of SA_NOMASK, SA_ONESHOT.
- strace -s N prints N+1 character strings, prints ellipsis even when not
needed and overruns buffer in the process.
Users of strace should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
