Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0264 - Bug Fix Advisory

  • Overview
  • Updated Packages

Synopsis

autofs bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated autofs package that fixes several bugs and adds one enhancement is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The automount
daemon automatically mounts and unmounts file systems.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, autofs submounts incorrectly handled shutdown synchronization and
    lock restrictions. As a consequence, automount could be unresponsive when
    submounts expired. With this update, the submount shuts down only after the
    states ST_SHUTDOWN, ST_SHUTDOWN_PENDING, and ST_SHUTDOWN_FORCE, or when the
    state changes to ST_READY. (BZ#655685)
  • Previously, automount did not correctly parse unmatched brackets in
    map entry server names. As a consequence, the sanity check for host
    names in these map entries could fail. Now, unmatched brackets in server
    names result in a syntax error being reported and the check no longer
    fails. (BZ#692814)
  • Previously, the automount logged confusing error messages when syntax errors
    occurred in map entry locations. This update modifies these messages and
    displays more informative messages were possible. (BZ#700142)
  • Previously, LDAP servers did not correctly return an opaque cookie to check
    for additional results when getting paged results from the server on 64-bit
    PowerPC and IBM System z platforms due to slightly different criteria for
    deciding if there are more results. As a consequence, the autofs internal
    functions did not detect when paged result sets were not supported. This update
    modifies the underlying source code so that autofs now correctly detects whether
    the paged results are updated. (BZ#700896)
  • Previously, an incorrect check for the presence of additional addresses for a
    host led to the IP address being used for mounting instead of the host name. As
    a consequence the IP address was displayed instead of the host name when listing
    system mounts, even when the host had only a single address. This update
    modifies the check so that the IP address is used only if a host has multiple IP
    addresses. (BZ#725536)
  • Previously, incorrect identification of the map entry source caused a failure
    during the key lookup. As a consequence, map lookups for an automount, where a a
    key was present in a file map and the same key was also found in an included
    map, failed if the file map entry was removed and a lookup was performed before
    a re-load is issued. This update modifies the key lookup code and the lookup
    works now as expected. (BZ#731514, BZ#732333)
  • Previously, automount could become unresponsive when reloading a master map
    that included a combination of direct and indirect maps due to incorrect lock
    ordering. This update corrects the logic used to determine if the lookup needs
    to continue into included maps. (BZ#732332)
  • Previously, map entries were always mounted using proximity and response time
    instead of bind mounting when adding a random selection of a host if the mount
    was local. This update modifies this behavior and also adds the "nobind" option
    to allow the previous behavior to be forced if needed. (BZ#734675)
  • Previously, the map key lookup mechanism did not find keys in an included
    multi-mount map entry. This update modifies the lookup mechanism so that keys in
    multi-mount map entries are now found correctly. (BZ#747020)
  • Previously, the stack allocation function of the temporary work space was used
    within a loop in the function lookup_ghost(). As a consequence, a stack overflow
    could occur and automount then failed with a segmentation fault. This update
    corrects the allocation usage and the stack overflows no longer occurs.
    (BZ#759221)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

  • With this update,the "--dumpmaps" option to dump maps has been added to dump
    in autofs. (BZ#732334)

All users of autofs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs and adds this enhancement.

Solution

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