Topic

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

Description

BusyBox is a binary that combines a large number of common system utilities into
a single executable. BusyBox provides replacements for most GNU file utilities,
shell utilities, and other command-line tools.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the "mknod" command was unable to create device nodes

with a major or minor number larger than 255. Consequently, the kdump utility
failed to handle such a device. The underlying source code has been modified,
and it is now possible to use the "mknod" command to create device nodes with a
major or minor number larger than 255. (BZ#981178)

Users of busybox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
