Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A

Last updated on: 2006-07-20

Details

Updated authd packages that fix a bug are now available.

The authd package contains a small and fast RFC 1413 ident protocol daemon
with both xinetd server and interactive modes that supports IPv6 and IPv4
as well as the more popular features of pidentd.

Previously, authd tried to use the NULL pointer, which caused the ident
service to crash.

All users of authd should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.


Solution

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

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
