RHBA-2007:0566 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
tcp_wrappers bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated tcp_wrappers packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The tcp_wrappers package provides small daemon programs which can monitor
and filter incoming requests for systat, finger, FTP, telnet, rlogin, rsh,
exec, tftp, talk and other network services. It also contains the libwrap
library that adds the same filtering capabilities to programs linked
against it, like sshd etc.
This update brings the following changes:
- localhost and localhost.localdomain are treated as equivalent when
comparing the client hostname and the list of allowed and denied hostnames.
- the behavior of signal handling when the "spawn" option is used has been
changed to be transparent to the application using the library.
These fixes correct the behavior of certain applications, including vsftpd.
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
