Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0646 - Bug Fix Advisory
Issued:

RHBA-2011:0646 - Bug Fix Advisory

  • Overview
  • Updated Packages

Synopsis

coreutils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated coreutils packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The coreutils package contains the core GNU utilities. It is the
combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

  • The su utility was previously not built with PIE and RELRO enabled,
    as they were in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. In this update, it is built
    as a PIE executable and is using RELRO protection. (BZ#630017)
  • Previously, when reading a line longer than 16KiB, the tac utility
    reallocated its primary buffer. Before exiting, the tac utility tried
    to free the already freed original buffer, which caused a utility crash
    after a double free error displayed. This was fixed and the tac utility
    no longer frees an already freed buffer. (BZ#628212)
  • Previously, the hardware control flow, DTRDSR, was implemented via
    TC{SG}ETX. This was changed to TC{SG}ET ioctl, which caused the CDTRDSR
    support in stty to fail. This was fixed to allow stty to correctly handle
    CDTRDSR control flow. (BZ#598631)
  • Previously, the internalization patch for coreutils had an unsafe
    initialization of char* bufops that left bufops uninitialized or
    initialized to NULL on the first usage. This behavior called memmove
    from an incorrect address, namely from address 0 and size 0. This is now
    fixed and bufops is correctly initialized for the first use. (BZ#683799)
  • Previously, when the multibyte LC_TIME differed from LC_CTYPE, an
    assertion failure caused the sort utility to crash irrespective of the
    parameters provided to it. This is fixed to prevent a crash when the sort
    utility is run and now works as expected. (BZ#649224)
  • Previously, the information page about 8-bit octal values did not
    mention checking if the value was lower than 256. Due to this, when a
    command like "/bin/echo -e '\0610'" was used, the results were not
    accurate. This is now fixed to provide more accurate information about
    the behavior of octal values. (BZ#660033)
  • Previously, when the dd utility used pipes, it read and wrote partial
    blocks. When the size of the block written was shorter than the specified
    maximum output block size, the "oflag=direct" would turn off, which
    resulted in degraded I/O performance. The workaround for this behavior,
    which involves the addition of "iflag=fullblock" is now available in the
    information documentation. (BZ#614605)
  • Previously, the coreutils information page was not sufficiently
    clear about behavior when multiple parent and leaf node directories are
    created. This is now fixed to incorporate additional information in the
    coreutils information page about the @option mode and its behavior when
    combined with the --parents option. (BZ609262)
  • Previously, documentation for tail command's --sleep-interval option
    did not outline the results of inotify support. This is now fixed and
    the documentation states that with inotify support, the --sleep-interval
    option is only relevant when the tail command reverts to the old
    polling-based method. (BZ#662900)

All coreutils users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.

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
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
