RHBA-2015:1432 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated sblim-sfcb packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Small Footprint CIM Broker (sblim-sfcb) is a Common Information Model (CIM)
server conforming to the CIM Operations over the HTTP protocol. The SFCB CIM
server is robust and resource-efficient, and is therefore particularly-suited
for embedded and resource-constrained environments. The sblim-sfcb package
supports providers written against the Common Manageability Programming
Interface (CMPI).

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Due to incorrect buffer handling in the sblim-sfcb server, the wbemcli CIM

client returned an error message when trying to connect to sblim-sfcb over the
HTTPS protocol. A patch has been provided to fix this bug, and sblim-sfcb is now
reachable over HTTPS without any errors. (BZ#1102477)

• When a sblim-sfcb server was used in combination with Openwsman and the

openwsmand service connected locally to the sblim-sfcb server, a defunct process
was left behind. As a consequence, a new process could not be created by the
system. With this update, Openwsman defunct processes no longer occur after
terminating the connection to the sblim-sfcb server. (BZ#1110106)

• Due to a memory leak in the sblim-sfcb server, the amount of memory consumed

by the sfcbd service process was increased. The underlying source code has been
modified to fix this bug, and the sfcbd service process no longer causes an
unwanted memory consumption increase. (BZ#1114798)

Users of sblim-sfcb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
