Linux-Mandrake Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: modutils
Date: October 9th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKA-2000:010
Affected versions: 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
There was a problem with modutils crashing constantly when used in
higher Linux-Mandrake security levels due to a problem with the
libsafe library which is used in those higher security levels. The
problem seems to be due to compiling modutils with the compiler option
-fomit-frame-pointer. This update is a rebuild of modutils without
that compiler option so it will work when libsafe is used.
