MandrakeSoft Bugfix Advisory MDKA-2003:005 : ldetect

 

April 24th, 2003

Updated ldetect packages fix system freeze

 

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/*/*.

 

 

The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 9.0

 

[*] 9.1

 

[*] 9.1/PPC

 

[*] Corporate Server 2.1
