RHBA-2012:0179 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated xmlrpc-c packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The xmlrpc-c utility provides a way to make remote procedure calls over the
Internet. It converts the procedure call into an XML document, sends it to a
remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response as XML.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the Generic Security Services Application Program

Interface (GSSAPI) credential delegation was disabled. As a consequence,
applications using the xmlrpc-c package and relying on the delegation exhibited
various issues and did not work as expected. This update adds the analogous
GSSAPI_DELEGATION to xmlrpc-c to allow for credential delegation when
applications need it. (BZ#727884, BZ#756704)

All users of xmlrpc-c are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.

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
