RHBA-2012:0471 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The esc packages contain the Smart Card Manager GUI, which allows user to manage
security smart cards. The primary function of the tool is to enroll smart cards,
so that they can be used for common cryptographic operations, such as secure
e-mail and website access.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The ESC utility did not start when the latest 10 series release of the

XULRunner runtime environment was installed on the system. This update includes
necessary changes to ensure that ESC works as expected with the latest version
of XULRunner. (BZ#807269)

• After removing and replacing an enrolled token, ESC could terminate

unexpectedly followed by a traceback. A patch has been applied to address this
issue and ESC now displays the enrolled smart card details as expected.
(BZ#807801)

All users of esc 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
