RHBA-2012:1480 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cluster and gfs2-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The Red Hat Cluster Manager is a collection of technologies working together to
provide data integrity and the ability to maintain application availability in
the event of a failure. Using redundant hardware, shared disk storage, power
management, and robust cluster communication and application failover
mechanisms, a cluster can meet the needs of the enterprise market.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the fenced daemon was creating its log file with insecure

permissions. Even though no sensitive data, such as passwords, usernames, or IP
addresses were ever stored in the file, with this update, log files are created
with correct permissions. Permissions of an existing log file is also
automatically corrected if necessary. (BZ#878373)

All users of cluster and gfs2-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.
