Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated findutils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
[Updated 11 August 2016]
This advisory has been updated with the correct product version (that is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) in the Topic section. The packages included in this revised update have not been changed in any way from the packages included in the original advisory.
Description
The findutils packages contain programs to locate files on the system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files that match a certain set of criteria, such as the file name pattern. The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, calls of the stat() function were not handled correctly
when they failed. Consequently, if a stat() call failed, the "find" utility terminated unexpectedly due to assertion failure. With this update, when stat() fails, "find" prints a non-fatal error message and continues the traversal. As a result, "find" no longer terminates incorrectly if stat() fails. (BZ#1305063)
Users of findutils 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.
