Topic

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

Description

The nfs-utils packages provide a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools, which provides better performance than the traditional Linux NFS server used by most users. These packages also contain the mount.nfs, umount.nfs, and showmount programs.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, using the exportfs command to export long paths or paths with multi-byte characters caused the export_hash() function to return a negative value. As a consequence, exportfs terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update changes the size of the variable to be unsigned, and exportfs now works as expected. (BZ#1500920)

Users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. After installing this update, the nfs service will be restarted automatically.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
