RHBA-2009:1599 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
bash bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated bash package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The GNU Bourne Again shell (Bash) is a shell or command language
interpreter that is compatible with the Bourne shell (sh). Bash also
incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and the C shell
(csh). Bash is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This updated package addresses the following issue:
- previously, bash did not wait for a child process if that child process's
PID was recycled. In some circumstances this caused "Resource temporarily
unavailable" errors. With this update, bash recycles child process PIDs
and, consequently, waits for child processes as expected. (BZ#531235)
All users of bash are advised to 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
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
