Fedora 24: libdb Security Update
Summary
The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that
provides embedded database support for both traditional and
client/server applications. The Berkeley DB includes B+tree, Extended
Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length record access methods,
transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, and database
recovery. The Berkeley DB supports C, C++, Java, and Perl APIs. It is
used by many applications, including Python and Perl, so this should
be installed on all systems.
Security fix for DB_CONFIG parsing when db_home is not set. This update also
introduces modified fixes for rhbz#1394862 once again and additionally fixes ppc
specific hangs described in rhbz#1460003. Please be aware that this update is
expected to cause **DB_VERSION_MISMATCH** errors during installation if you are
still running an older release of libdb. These errors are a result of packages
calling rpm commands during installation and have so far been found harmless.
You can also run into issues with dnf plugins that do the same. As these plugins
are run after the rpm transaction has already gone through successfully they
should also be harmless. However, in this case a rebuild of rpmdb's environment
will be needed. Detailed information on how to achieve this can be found in the
links below. For more information please take a look at:
