From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: These are extremely useful utilities that can be used to monitor hard disk reliability (in particular the SMART features of most modern ATA hard disks). Unfortunately the redhat release left out the man pages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install kernel-utils-2.4-7.4 2.man smartctl (fails) 3.man smartd (fails) Actual Results: No man pages Additional info: The original utilities are available from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartsuite/ Versions with some of the bugs fixed and improved (& consistent) documentation can be found here: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ The latter package also fixes an potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the smartd and smartctl, which copy an arbitrary-length user input into a fixed-length 256 byte buffer in ParseOpts. This is replaced by a calls to getopt(). I don't think that the buffer overflow is exploitable since the code doesn't normally run as SUID root, but I am not expert and am not sure
