RHBA-2008:0674 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
iputils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iputils package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The iputils package contains basic utilities for monitoring a network,
including ping.
This updated iputils package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- the previous release of iputils added a patch that contained an error
which caused the '-Q' option of the ping6 command to fail. This updated
package corrects this error, making "ping6 -Q" work as expected.
- the arping command would return exit code 0 even if the arp requests
failed. This regression has been fixed so that the arping command returns
the correct exit codes.
- the arping command did not work with the InfiniBand® (ipoib, or "IP over
InfiniBand") interfaces. This has been fixed so that it does.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated iputils package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
