RHBA-2012:1405 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated openmotif packages that fix three bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The openmotif packages include the Motif shared libraries needed to run
applications, which are dynamically linked against Motif, as well as MWM, the
Motif Window Manager.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Under certain circumstances, closing an application using a text or a combo

box widget could result in an invalid memory access for widgets that were
already destroyed. A patch has been provided to address this issue and freed
memory is no longer accessed in the described scenario. (BZ#866499)

• Prior to this update, the insertion cursor of a text widget could have a

shadow border line under certain settings. This bug has been fixed and the
cursor now displays correctly at all times. (BZ#866496)

• Due to 32-bit time stamp issues, attempting to copy and paste on a 64-bit

architecture using the clipboard could fail occasionally. With this update, the
underlying source code has been modified to ensure the time stamp always
contains a "CARD32" value, so that copy and paste on 64-bit architectures works
as expected. (BZ#867463)

Users of openmotif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
