Man-Pages-Ja; Rhba-2009:0483: Bug Fix Update - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.4 - TECHNICAL NOTES Manual

Chapter 1. Package Updates
• closing a file object returned by m2urllib2 did not immediately close the underlying network
connection. This could cause a process to run out of file handles. Closing a file object now closes
the sockets associated with it and avoids leaking file descriptors.
• the Python global interpreter lock was not released by blocking m2crypto functions, making it
impossible to use m2crypto concurrently in a multi-threaded program. M2Crypto now uses the
thread support in SWIG for functions that are likely to block. M2Crypto can now accept additional
connections even when a different thread is still waiting for incoming data.
• m2urllib2 used absolute URIs in HTTP requests instead of using only the selector part of the URI,
which is not supported by some HTTP servers. Now, m2urllib2 makes requests with only the
selector part of the URI, ensuring that the request is understood even by HTTP servers that do not
support requests made with the absolute URI.
• the M2Crypto SSL certificate checker incorrectly rejected certificates with a subjectAltName
extension that did not contain a host name. M2Crypto now uses the certificate subject field instead
of subjectAltName if subjectAltName does not contain a host name.
• the OpenSSL locking callback in M2Crypto did not block on a lock when the lock was held by
another thread. This could cause data corruption in multi-threaded applications. The locking callback
now functions correctly, regardless of which thread holds the lock.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated m2crypto package, which resolves these issues.

1.138.1. RHBA-2009:0483: bug fix update

Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK
RHBA-2009:0483
errata
An updated man-pages-ja package that fixes multiple typos is now available.
The man-pages-ja package contains the manual pages from the Linux Documentation Project
translated into Japanese.
This updated package addresses the following bugs:
• modules loaded after sysctl was run could override parameters set in sysctl and sysctl.conf.
Man pages have been updated with information about this process and suggestions as to how
modifications can be retained by the system across reboots.
• The bash(1), echo(1), wall(1), vmstat(8) and edquota(8) man pages included in the previous
releast of man-pages-ja contained several typographical errors. These have now been corrected.
