iproute bug fix update
| Advisory: | RHBA-2009:1520-3 |
|---|---|
| Type: | Bug Fix Advisory |
| Severity: | N/A |
| Issued on: | 2009-10-21 |

Details
An updated iproute package that fixes a bug is now available.
The iproute package contains networking utilities such as ip and rtmon,
which use the advanced networking capabilities of the Linux 2.4 and 2.6
kernels.
This update addresses the following problem:
* if IPv6 was disabled, running the "ss" command resulted in a segmentation
fault. A workaround was to run "ss -f inet". With this update the return
value checks for net_*_open were fixed and the workaround is no longer
necessary. The ss command again returns socket statistics as expected.
(BZ#493578)
All iproute users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
