Synopsis
coreutils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated coreutils package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The coreutils package contains core GNU utilities. It is a combination of the
old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The "su" utility, which switches the user, does not return exit code of the
child process command, if the child process is terminated by a signal. Returned
exit code 0 - which means exit success - could be confusing for scripts. With
this updated package, correct exit code is returned, thus resolving the issue.
(BZ#672863)
All users of coreutils should 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
