Preface The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 Technical Notes list and document the changes made to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system and its accompanying applications between minor release Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 and minor release Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5. For system administrators and others planning Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 upgrades and deployments, the Technical Notes provide a single, organized record of the bugs fixed in, features added to, and Technology Previews included with this new release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
With this update, getfacl and setfacl are now able to produce correct output when using non-ASCII character sets. (BZ#507747 All users of Access Control Lists should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=368451 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=430458 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=436070 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=500095...
A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges if the log file was created as world-writable and with the setuid or setgid bit set. (CVE-2009-4033 Please note that this flaw was due to a Red Hat-specific patch (acpid-1.0.4-fd.patch) included in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 acpid package. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=548374 https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2009-4033.html...
Keyboard–Video–Mouse (KVM) switches. Therefore, when installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a system with a KVM switch, installation would be constrained to text mode. Anaconda no longer checks for bad or missing EDID, and allows graphical installation to proceed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=530485...
Page 14
Chapter 1. Package Updates even when this information is unavailable. Graphical installation on machines attached to KVM switches therefore continues as if them monitor were connected directly to the graphics adapter. (BZ#445486 • previously, anaconda expected storage devices to be available immediately when it probed for the location of a kickstart file.
Page 15
RHBA-2010:0194: bug fix and enhancement update • the part kickstart command accepts an option called --label that allows a label to be applied to a disk partition during a kickstart installation. However, the code that implemented this option was previously missing from anaconda. Any label specified in a kickstart file was therefore ignored. Anaconda now includes code to transfer the specified label from the kickstart file to the disk partition.

Chapter 1. Package Updates to install on an iSCSI target specified by in IPv6 address. The logic by which anaconda parses IP addresses has now been corrected, but now requires IPv6 addresses to be specified in the [address]:port form to comply with the relevant RFCs. This form removes ambiguity, since IPv6 addresses are still valid if they omit a sequence of bytes with zero values.
Page 17
RHBA-2010:0194: bug fix and enhancement update • previously, when installing on IBM System z systems, anaconda assumed that the network gateway was unreachable if its attempt to ping the gateway timed out after 10 seconds. Anaconda would then prompt the user to select a gateway. However, if IPADDR in the conf file has changed recently, network interfaces take longer to respond.
All users requiring MySQL support should install these newly released packages, which add this enhancement. 1.6. at 1.6.1. RHBA-2009:1654: bug fix and enhancement update Note This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK RHBA-2009:1654 errata https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252073 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=491342...
When it attempted to do so, a segmentation fault would occur. The audit package has now been patched so that IPC mode fields are interpreted by the software without crashes resulting. (BZ#519790 This update also includes the following enhancement: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=500542 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232259 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=537792 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=513974 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=519790...
1.8.2. RHBA-2010:0265: bug fix update The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The automount daemon automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when they are not busy. This updated package fixes the following bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=529851 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=523188 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=525431...
Page 21
RHBA-2010:0265: bug fix update • If an included map read failed, autofs returned an error and subsequent master map entries were not read. This update reports the failure in the log but master map reading no longer ceases. (BZ#506034 • autofs could segfault if it called xmlCleanupParser concurrently from multiple threads, as this function is not re-entrant.
Note: This issue affected Makefile targets used by developers to prepare distribution source archives. Those targets are not used when compiling programs from the source code. All users of automake, automake14, automake15, automake16, and automake17 should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2009-4029.html...

With this update, the fence_scsi agent extracts the device name (pv_name) and Universally Unique Identifier (pv_uuid) and builds a hash keyed on the UUID (which is consistent on all nodes). This ensures devices are ordered consistently on each node. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=501225 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=466740 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=516599 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=518061...
