Details

An updated iscsi-initiator-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.

The iscsi-initiator-utils package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI
protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a
protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet
Protocol networks.

This updated iscsi-initiator-utils package fixes the following bug:

* attempting to log in to targets which used the iSCSI protocol's login
redirect feature failed due to a coding error in the IPv6 address parser.
This bug has been fixed in this updated package so that address parsing
succeeds as expected, and logging in to targets over IPv6 is once again
possible. (BZ#501737)

All users using IPv6 with LUN targets which employ login redirect, such as
EqualLogic targets, should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
