Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated gpxe packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The gpxe packages provide gPXE, an open source Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) implementation and boot loader.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to a problem with IP fragment reassembly in the gPXE boot loader, gPXE was not able to receive fragmented IP traffic, used for example on networks with a small maximum transmission unit (MTU). With this update, the IP fragment reassembly is fixed, and gPXE can successfully receive fragmented IP traffic. (BZ#1408390)
In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:
- The gPXE boot loader is now able to handle 802.1q VID 0 frames, which enables pre-boot execution environment (PXE) booting on networks that use the VLAN 0 signal ID. (BZ#1408391)
Users of gpxe are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.
