Package name ldetect
Date April 24th, 2003
Advisory ID MDKA-2003:005
Affected versions 9.0, 9.1, CS2.1
Synopsis Updated ldetect packages fix system freeze

Problem Description

Previous ldetect packages could freeze systems when harddrake
probed for PCI information on the computer. This only occured
rarely on some systems, when reading too much data from the PCI
configuration space would result in a freeze of the system.

This has been fixed in the ldetect engine by not buffering such
reads, and only to read as many bytes as required from the PCI
configuration space as exported by the kernel in/proc/bus/pci/*/*.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrivaUpdate.


Verification

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the command :

                rpm --checksig package.rpm
                

You can get the GPG public key of the Mandriva Security Team to verify the GPG signature of each RPM.

If you use MandrivaUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG signature is performed automatically for you.
