RHBA-2015:2087 - Bug Fix Advisory

주제

Updated iputils packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

설명

The iputils packages contain basic utilities for monitoring a network, including ping.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the "ping" program was installed with its capabilities in the effective set as well as the permitted set. Because of the effective set and the way that docker restricts program capabilities, "ping" could not be used when invoked from a docker image. With this update, only the permitted capabilities set is used when installing "ping", which can now be used from within a docker image as intended. (BZ#1142311)
• Due to a programming error in the code that handles the number of back hops, the tracepath utility displayed an incorrect number of back hops. This update fixes the logic, and the number of displayed back hops is now accurate. (BZ#1208372)
• When domain name translation was forced to be carried out over the IPv6 protocol, the output of the "ping" command was incorrect as it displayed an incorrect IP address received from the internal library. The underlying logic has been modified to use the gethostbyname2() function instead of gethostbyname(), and domain name to IP address translation now works correctly. (BZ#1210331)

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