RHBA-2010:0869 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated tog-pegasus package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise 5.

Description

OpenPegasus Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Services for Linux enables
management solutions that deliver increased control of enterprise resources.
WBEM is a platform and resource independent Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF) standard that defines a common information model (CIM) and communication
protocol for monitoring and controlling resources from diverse sources.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, not all array elements, which were cloned by the OpenPegasus CIM

server, were released together with the Common Manageability Programming
Interface Array(CMPIArray) by calling their respective release functions. This
resulted in memory leak. With this update, the new flag isCloned handles the
release for cloned CMPIArray. (BZ#644839)

This patch also resolves memory leaks in sample CMPIInstanceProvider.

Users of OpenPegasus are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
