sos-1.7-9.62.0.1.AXS3

Sos is a set of tools that gathers information about system hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging. Sos is commonly used to help support technicians and developers.

Security issues fixed with this release:

• CVE-2011-4083

No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE links below.

Fixed bugs:

• If the --tmp-dir option is not used, sosreport uses the TMP envirobment variable and the Log Collector works as expected.

• The python lstrip() method was not correctly used when extracting the release number of the kernel package from the NVR string: sos would incorrectly report warnings for valid gfs2 kernel module configutrations. This has been fixed.

• Targets of relative symbolic links are now properly included in the generated report.

• sosreport now runs in single-threaded mode by default and keyboard interrupts now function as expected. The --multithread option has been added to allow the previous default multithreaded behaviour.

• sosreport log daemon now collects any user-defined log destinations present in both rsyslog and syslog configuration files.

• Corrected the translation of a French string to avoid a confusing problem ("yes/no" was expected instead of "oui/non").

• Plug-in problems can now be discoverd with the normal sos logs without allowing those problems to stop sosreport.

Enhancements:

• Added support for Veritas storage devices and high-availability products.

• Now collects the libvirt configuration files in /etc/libvirt/ and the libvirt log files in /var/log/libvirt/, if present.

• Added support for gfs2-specific configuration and debugging information.

• Merged the "dogtag" module to the newly revised "cs" module.

• Added a new module that supports InfiniBand-specific information.

• Added the "iscsi" module to collect software iSCSI targets.
