Scientific Linux Security Update : openafs on SL41-45 i386/x86_64

high Nessus Plugin ID 60374

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

In pthread-aware fileservers, the 'host_glock' pthread lock, accessed via the H_LOCK and H_UNLOCK macros, is used to provide safe access to host structures. This lock is required to be held when updating information pertaining to a host. The RPC handler for the GiveUpAllCallBacks RPC did not hold this lock while performing its work.

This errata is already in SL 4.6. So it only applies to SL 40-45

Solution

Update the affected packages.
