RHBA-2015:1381 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The usbredir packages provide a network protocol for sending USB device traffic
over a network connection and a number of libraries to help implement support
for this protocol.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, USB redirection over plain Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

sockets with the usbredir packages installed did not work. The USB was not
properly redirected in this situation, even though USB redirection over Spice
channels worked as expected. This update fixes a bug in the usbredir protocol
parser that was causing this problem. As a result, USB redirection over plain
TCP sockets now works as expected. (BZ#1085318)

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