Topic

An updated iputils package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The iputils package contains basic utilities for monitoring a network, including
ping.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • The ping and ping6 commands were previously not compiled as position

independent executables (PIE). In this update, they are now built as PIE
executables. (BZ#630022)

  • Previously, the tracepath6 program that is included in the iputils package

failed to resolve a target when using the "-n" option and a hostname as the
target. The fix for this problem has been provided so that tracepath6 now works
as expected. (BZ#671579)

  • Previously, when the rdisc utility that is included in the iputils package was

run on a system with an interface having two IP addresses assigned to the
interface, an error was issued and rdisc failed to start. The bug has been fixed
and the rdisc start failure no longer occurs. (BZ#688332)

All iputils users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these
issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
