RHBA-2009:1090 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
iputils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iputils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The iputils package contains basic utilities for monitoring a network,
including ping.
This updated iputils package fixes the following bug:
- it is the rdisc utility which is called at boot time to populate the
network routing tables with default routes. This bug caused rdisc to fail
during initialization when more than one IP address was assigned to a
single interface. This has been solved so that when rdisc encounters two or
more IP addresses assigned to the same interface, it continues working as
expected. (BZ#470498)
All users of iputils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
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
