3.2. am-utils
Updated am-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
[Updated 25 February 2014] This advisory has been updated with the correct description of the ENOENT error. No changes have been made to the packages.
The am-utils packages provide the BSD automounter, Amd, which maintains a cache of mounted file systems. File systems are mounted when they are first referenced by a user, and unmounted after a period of inactivity.
Bug Fix
- BZ#1065876
- Previously, the am-utils automount utility (amd) did not properly handle possible "no such entity" error (ENOENT) returns when executing the umount system calls on file systems mounted within the autofs file system. As a consequence, amd terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault under some circumstances. With this update, amd handles ENOENT returns as expected, and the problem no longer occurs.
Users of am-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
