Topic

Updated rng-utils packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rng-utils package contains the random number generator user space utilities
such as the rng daemon.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, rng-utils did not support the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This

update adds TPM rng support to use the random number generator inside the TPM.

update resolves this issue and the release number is now available. (BZ#640725)

All users of rng-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
