openais bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated openais packages that fix multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and a set of policies
for developing applications that maintain services during faults. The OpenAIS
Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified implementation of the
Service Availability Forum AIS. The openais package contains the openais
executable, OpenAIS service handlers, default configuration files and an init
script.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The FAIL_TO_RECV_CONST constant specifies how many rotations of a token should
  be received without receiving any messages before a new configuration is formed.
  Previously, this constant was set to 50, which is low for most modern switch
  hardware. This could cause processes, such as corosync, to terminate
  unexpectedly. The FAIL_TO_RECV_CONST constant is now set to 2500, which prevents
  processes from crashing in this scenario. (BZ#671575)
  
• The syslog utility prints data to standard output as a function with a dynamic
  number of arguments. Previously, a logged string was passed directly as a format
  string, and if formatting characters were included, stack overflow or underflow
  could occur. This consequently caused the aisexec process to terminate
  unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. The underlying source code has been
  modified so that aisexec no longer crashes in this scenario. (BZ#794837)
  
• Previously, the range condition for the update_aru() function could cause
  incorrect check of message IDs. Due to this, in rare cases, the corosync utility
  entered the "FAILED TO RECEIVE" state, and so failed to receive multicast
  packets. With this update, the range value in the update_aru() function is no
  longer checked for; the fail_to_recv_const constant performs such checks. Now,
  corosync does not fail to receive packets. (BZ#806901)
  
• This update adds support for cluster hearbeat configuration through VLAN
  network interfaces. (BZ#810250)
  

All users of openais are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
