RHBA-2019:2812 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

Red Hat Gluster Storage is software only scale-out storage solution that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage. It unifies data storage and infrastructure, increases performance, and improves availability and manageability to meet enterprise-level storage challenges.

This advisory fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, when an update to a file's size or version failed, the file descriptor was not marked as bad. This meant that bricks were assumed to be good when this was not necessarily true and that the file could show incorrect data. This update ensures that the file descriptor is marked as bad with the change file sync or flush fails after an update failure. (BZ#1748880)
• Previously, dynamically allocated memory was not freed correctly, which led to an increase in memory consumption and out-of-memory management on gluster clients. Memory is now freed correctly so that memory overruns do not occur. (BZ#1749168)

Users of Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fixes these bugs.
