Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-kickstart package that fixes two bugs is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The system-config-kickstart package contains Kickstart Configurator, a graphical
tool for creating kickstart files.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- When a user opened an existing file, Kickstart Configurator did not clear the
partition information, and the configuration from the file was incorrectly added
to the previous configuration. With this update, the underlying source code has
been adapted to address this issue, and opening a file now clears the previous
partition information as expected. (BZ#610740)
- In the "Authentication" tab, the default hash function for shadow passwords
was set to MD5. This update changes the default option to SHA-512. (BZ#633202)
Users of system-config-kickstart are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
