RHBA-2015:0005 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gdbm bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gdbm packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
Gdbm is a GNU database indexing library, which includes routines which use
extensible hashing. Gdbm works in a similar way to standard UNIX dbm routines.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to incorrect open file flags, the gdbm utility caused creation of a new
file when opening a non-existent file for reading. To fix this bug, the wrong
file open flags have been set correctly, and gdbm thus no
longer creates a new file in the aforementioned scenario. (BZ#629640)
Users of gdbm 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.
