Chapter 14. System and Subscription Management

Previously, the open_netlink() function did not check the return code of the nl_connect() function, and the get_etherinfo() function did not check the return address of the rtnl_link_alloc_cache() function at the python-ethtool interface. Consequently, when nl_connect() was unable to establish a connection, Subscription Manager terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, open_netlink() and get_etherinfo() check return values of nl_connect() and rtnl_link_alloc_cache() respectively, and Subscription Manager no longer crashes in the described scenario. (BZ#1032779)

Prior to this update, the ps command removed do_ and sys_ prefixes from the wait channel name when the wchan format option was used. As a conseqence, this caused ambiguities in some kernel function names. The bug has been fixed, and as a result the ps command no longer removes do_ and sys_ prefixes. (BZ#1322111)
