Topic

Updated nmap packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The nmap packages provide a network exploration utility and a security scanner.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the debuginfo file for the ncat utility was missing in the

nmap debuginfo package. Consequently, debugging and analysis of
unexpected terminations could not be done properly. This update ensure
the missing file is present in the package, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#729045)

  • In a previous version, the ncat utility failed to write its session data

to an output file when the used protocol was UDP. This update provides a
patch, which ensures that the data are properly written in the described
scenario, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#826601)

Users of nmap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.

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
