RHBA-2009:1474 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated openais package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.4.

Description

The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and set of policies
for developing applications that maintain service during faults. The
OpenAIS Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified
implementation of the Service Availability Forum AIS. The openais package
contains the openais executive, openais service handlers, default
configuration files and init script.

This update addresses the following issue:

• an invalid assertion caused MTUs of 9000 bytes to generate a SIGABRT

signal and dump core when inside totem running heavy loads. With this
update, the assertion has been corrected (and the MTU increased to 10000
bytes). (BZ#521098)

All openais users should install this update which fixes this bug.
