RHBA-2012:0512 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated aide packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is a program that creates a
database of files on a system, and then uses that database to ensure file
integrity and detect system intrusions.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the aide utility incorrectly initialized the gcrypt library. This

consequently prevented aide to initialize its database if the system was running
in FIPS-compliant mode. The initialization routine has been corrected, and along
with an extension to the libgcrypt's API introduced in the RHEA-2012:0486
advisory, aide now initializes its database as expected if run in a
FIPS-compliant way. (BZ#811936)

All users of aide are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

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