RHBA-2017:2466 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.2 packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Satellite.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Updated QPID packages have been included to address performance and memory issues. (BZ#1367735, BZ#1443470, BZ#1431783, BZ#1449743, BZ#1468450, BZ#1368718)
• Users can now manage a system without the use of gofer. (BZ#1445403)
• Several search bugs have been resolved. (BZ#1392422, BZ#1462350)
• The RBAC system has been updated to unlock behaviors for non-admin users and to suppress database errors. (BZ#1246865, BZ#1427282)
• Manifest refreshes were not respecting proxy settings on the host. These settings are now respected. (BZ#1464881)
• A batch job has been introduced to clean up repository metadata on Capsules. (BZ#1425691)
• An error message from foreman-rake was causing confusion. The message has now been cleaned up. (BZ#1429418)
• Deleting an interface was deleting the entire host record. The code will now correctly only delete the interface. (BZ#1285669)
• Bulk Capsule syncs were causing a race condition which resulted in failed syncs. This case is now handled correctly. (BZ#1391298, BZ#1443213)

• Users can now browse to /pub on Capsule Servers over HTTPS. (BZ#1432580)
• Certain trends would show a database error. The query behind this trend has been resolved. (BZ#1375000)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
