1.124. libhbalinux

1.124.1. RHBA-2011:0799: bug fix update

An updated libhbalinux package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The libhbalinux library is a vendor library utilized by fcoe-utils. The libhbaapi library provides programmatic access to the libhbalinux library. This library can retrieve adapter information with the assistance of libpciaaccess.

This updated libhbalinux package includes fixes for the following bugs:

Creating an FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) interface, by executing the "fceoadm -c [interface]" command, and shortly after the creation executing the "fcoeadm -i" command (which displays information about FCoE instances), resulted in a segmentation fault due to a NULL pointer dereference. This update fixes this issue and a segmentation fault no longer occurs in the aforementioned case. (BZ#690014)
After upgrading the libhbalinux package, the "fcoeadm -i" command (which shows information about FCoE instances) printed an error message. With this update, the "fcoeadm -i" command has been fixed, and no longer returns an error message.

All users of libhbalinux are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
