RHBA-2009:1078 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
readline bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated readline package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The Readline library provides a set of functions that allow users to edit
command lines.
This updated package fixes the following bug:
- readline failed to re-allocate the array used to keep track of wrapped
screen lines. For a long enough input line, this resulted in an invalid
pointer error and a segmentation fault crash. With this update, the array
is properly re-allocated and the crash no longer occurs. (BZ#473359)
All Readline users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
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
