Topic

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

Description

The binutils packages provide a set of binary utilities, including "ar" (for
creating, modifying and extracting from archives), "as" (a family of GNU
assemblers), "gprof" (for displaying call graph profile data), "ld" (the GNU
linker), "nm" (for listing symbols from object files), "objcopy" (for copying
and translating object files), "objdump" (for displaying information from object
files), "ranlib" (for generating an index for the contents of an archive),
"readelf" (for displaying detailed information about binary files), "size" (for
listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), "strings" (for listing
printable strings from files), "strip" (for discarding symbols), and "addr2line"
(for converting addresses to file and line).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • On IBM System z, the linker sometimes generated undesirable runtime

relocations for thread-local-storage variables. These undesirable relocations
could under certain circumstances cause execmod AVC errors. This bug has been
fixed, and AVC errors are no longer returned in this scenario. (BZ#1175590)

Users of binutils 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.
