Synopsis
environment-modules bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated environment-modules packages that fix several bugs are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The environment-modules packages provide for the dynamic modification of a
user's environment using modulefiles. Each modulefile contains the information
needed to configure the shell for an application. Once the package is
initialized, the environment can be modified on a per-module basis using the
module command which interprets modulefiles.
The environment-modules package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.2.9c,
which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#765630)
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Due to an error in the Tcl library, some allocated pointers were invalidated
inside the library. Consequently, running the "module switch" command in the
tcsh shell led to a segmentation fault. The bug has been fixed and the system
memory is now allocated and pointed to correctly. (BZ#818177)
- Previously, the /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/modules file contained an
incorrect path. Consequently, an error occurred when the "module load modules"
command was executed. With this update, the incorrect path has been replaced and
the described error no longer occurs. (BZ#848865)
All users of environment-modules 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.
