RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, when running the rhn_register utility, providing a valid user name and password, and clicking the Forward button, the tool terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This was caused by the dmi_processor_id() function not checking whether the version pointer was NULL. This update adds additional checks for NULL values, fixing the problem.

This one is the same as bug #596264.  A fix is proposed there for RHEL5.6.

Just a little double check, which version of python-dmidecode is RHEL6 shipping with?
Comment 5 prashant ingale 2011-01-06 08:54:58 UTC 
Rhel6 has a python-dmidecode-3.10.12-1.el6.x86_64
Comment 6 David Sommerseth 2011-01-06 15:58:02 UTC 
See bug #596264 and especially attachment #472083 [details] for more a solution.  All patches in the attachment have been sent upstream already and is needed in python-dmidecode-3.10.12.
