Topic

An updated nmap package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The nmap package provides a network exploration utility and a security scanner.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the output of the "nmap -h" (or "nmap --help") command

did not describe all the available nmap options that begin with the "-s" or "-P"
prefix. As a result, a user could have been unable to research what options can
be used to perform specific tasks with nmap. With this update, the bug has been
fixed so that the output of "nmap -h" now describes all the aforementioned nmap
options that were previously missing from the output. (BZ#621045)

All users of nmap are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.

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
