Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iscsi-initiator-utils package that fixes various bugs is now
available.
Description
The iscsi package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol,
as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a protocol
for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet
Protocol networks.
This package addresses the following bugs:
- If a SendTargets PDU was the same size as the MaxRecvDataSegmentLength
the initiator was failing discovery because of a bug in linux-iscsi which
did not parse targets straddling pdus. This updated package corrects this
issue so that a SendTargets PDU does not fail given the circumstances
mentioned.
- The initiator would try to log into every portal that was found during
discovery and if the port was not necessary, a user had to login and then
use the iscsi session shutdown tool to remove the port. To control this
behavior, this update allows the use of the Enabled keyword on targets and
portals.
Users of iscsi 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.
