RHBA-2010:0065 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ypserv bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ypserv package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The ypserv package provides the Network Information Service (NIS) server.
The NIS is a system that provides network information (login names,
passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a
network.
This update addresses the following issue:
- the yppush command forcibly propagates changed NIS maps from the master
NIS server to slave NIS servers within an NIS domain. Previously, when
yppush was used to propagate NIS maps from an master server running on an
x86-based system to a 64-bit PowerPC-based slave server, the slave server
would hang with the following error:
- ** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x100152a4 ***
This update prevents the slave server from hanging when the invalid pointer
is freed, allowing map propagation to occur as expected. (BZ#557034)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated ypserv package which fixes
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
