Topic

An updated nfs4-acl-tools package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The nfs4-acl-tools package provides utilities for managing NFSv4 Access Control
Lists (ACLs) on files and directories mounted on ACL-enabled NFSv4 file systems.

This updated nfs4-acl-tools package fixes the following bug:

  • Due to a regression introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, if the format

of the input ACL file was incorrect, the "nfs4_setfacl" command failed with the
following unexpected message:

  • ** glibc detected *** nfs4_setfacl: double free or corruption (out)

This update applies a patch that corrects the memory handling process and the
nfs4_setfacl command now fails with a useful error message if the input file
syntax is invalid. (BZ#693422)

All users of nfs4-acl-tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes this bug.
