B.10.1. RHBA-2012:1216 — corosync bug fix update

Updated corosync packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.

Bug Fix

BZ#850681
Previously, a bug in the Corosync server caused that when an IPC (inter-process communication) connection exited or was terminated, Corosync failed to free the memory for this connection. Consequently, Corosync memory could grow. This update fixes this bug and Corosync now always frees IPC memory as expected in the described scenario.
Users of corosync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
