RHBA-2017:0033 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ORBit2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ORBit2 packages provide a high-performance Object Request Broker (ORB) for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). ORBit allows programs to send requests and receive replies from other programs, regardless of where the programs are located. CORBA is a standard that enables communication between program objects, regardless of the programming language and platform used.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when logging in and out, linc socket files accumulated in the /tmp/orbit-[username]/ directory. Consequently, the /tmp file system quickly became full, which in some cases caused processes running on the system to fail. As a result, the described failures no longer occur. (BZ#1391976)

Users of ORBit2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
