Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated sos package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.2 Advanced Update Support.
Description
The sos package contains a set of utilities that gather information from system
hardware, logs, and configuration files. The information can then be used for
diagnostic purposes and debugging.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the sosreport tool failed to collect various logfiles that contained non-ASCII characters. This update properly decodes such logfiles during parsing, allowing to collect them properly. (BZ#1600054)
- Previously, when the xz binary was not present on the system, the sosreport tool tracebacked when attempting to compress the final archive tarball file. As a consequence, only unpacked tarballs were available. With this update, a new check of the presence of any present compression program is made before using it. As a result, sosreport now fall backs to a different compression algorithm, preserving the same user experience. (BZ#1601866)
Users of sos are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
