certificates failing verification. In order for certificates to pass verification, the
-CAfile /etc/
pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
option had to be used. In these updated packages, the
default CA certificates file is read, and no longer needs to be specified with the
-CAfile
option.
yum Re-Base
yum
has been re-based to upstream version 3.2.18. This update improves the speed at which
yum
operates, thereby alleviating the problem posed by the ever-growing number of packages
included with each minor release. In addition, this update also introduces the reinstall command,
improves the interface for several commands, and applies several bug fixes, including:
• Any yum commands would fail if the
-c
option was used to specify a configuration file residing
on a web address (http). This bug is now fixed.
• A
checkSignal()
function in
yum
called an incorrect exit function; as such, exiting yum would
result in a traceback instead. With this release, yum now exits properly.
flash-plugin Re-Base
The
flash-plugin
package has been re-based to version 10.0.12.36. This update applies
several security fixes that were included in a previous
flash-plugin
ASYNC update. Further,
this updated plugin also contains
Adobe Flash Player 10
, which includes the following bug fixes
and feature enhancements:
• Improved stability on the Linux platform by fixing a race condition issue in sound output.
• New support for custom filters and effects, native 3D transformation and animation, advanced
audio processing, a new, more flexible text engine, and GPU hardware acceleration.
For more information about this update, refer to the
Adobe Flash Player 10
release notes at the

gdb Rebase
gdb
has now been rebased to version 6.8. This applies several upstream feature updates and
bug fixes, most notably: support for breakpoints inside
C++
templates, constructors and inline
functions.

gdb
updates applied in this release, refer to

Instruction Based Sampling on AMD Family10h processors
New hardware profiling support for the AMD Family10h processors has been added for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. These new AMD CPUs support Instruction Based Sampling (IBS). IBS
support requires changes to the oProfile driver to gather this information and initialize the new
Model Specific Registers (MSRs) associated with these new features.
This update adds the new
IBS_FETCH
and
IBS_OP
profiling samples to the per CPU buffers
and the event buffers of the oProfile driver. New control entries have also been added to
/dev/
oprofile
to control IBS sampling. These changes are backward compatible with the previous
PMC only version of the driver, and a separate patch is available to oProfile 0.9.3 to use this new
data.
