Topic

An updated strace package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

The strace program intercepts and records the system calls called and
received by a running process. Strace can print a record of each system
call, its arguments and its return value.

This updated strace package fixes the following bug:

  • inadequate checking for NULL dereferences in the localtime() function

lead to strace crashing during verbose tracing (ie, when strace was run
with the "-v" switch). This update adds the required checks on values
returned by localtime() and, consequently, no longer crashes in this
circumstance. (BZ#589872)

All strace users should install this updated package which addresses this
issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
