Topic

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

Description

The procps packages contain a set of system utilities that provide system information. The procps packages include the following utilities: ps, free, skill, pkill, pgrep, snice, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, watch, pwdx, sysctl, pmap, and slabtop.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when reading the /proc/stat file, a buffer overflow could occur. As a consequence, the starting time of a process (STIME) value was computed incorrectly. This update fixes the problem by reading /proc/stat line by line independently, and STIME is now computed correctly. (BZ#1460176)

Users of procps 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.
