Details

An updated sysreport package that includes various fixes is now
available.

The sysreport package contains a utility that gathers information about a
system's hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for
diagnostic purposes and debugging. Sysreport is commonly used to help
support technicians and developers by providing a "snapshot" of a
system's current layout.

This updated version of sysreport addresses the following issues:

* A conflict between sysreport and named update caused a Denial of
Service error.

* iptable_nat, ip_conntrack drivers were loaded after sysreport was run.

Users of sysreport are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
