Updated libtdb packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The libtdb package contains a library that implements a trivial database.
These updated libtdb packages fix the following bug:
When processing very large database updates, occasionally, tdb incorrectly allocated unnecessarily large amounts of memory. As a result, an OOM (Out Of Memory) situation occurred. This was caused by libtdb calling the tdb_expand() function to increase its size by creating space to store an extra hundred records of the size of the largest record it currently has. With this update, this behavior has been removed and tdb no longer allocates unnecessarily large amounts of memory. (BZ#692251)
All users of libtdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
