Topic

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

Description

The trace-cmd packages contain a command-line tool that interfaces with the
ftrace utility in the kernel.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to invalid pointers, executing the "trace-cmd split" or "trace-cmd report"

commands after running latency tracers failed with a segmentation fault. With
this update, additional checks have been added to ensure that the pointers are
properly initialized before attempting to use them. As a result, the
segmentation fault no longer occurs in the described scenario. (BZ#879814)

Users of trace-cmd 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
