Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated syslinux package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Syslinux is a suite of bootloaders. It is a vital part of the startup process.
This updated syslinux package fixes the following bug:
- the "gethostip" utility converts an IP address into various formats. When
converting to hexadecimal using the command "gethostip -x
[decimal_ip_address]", if the first octet of the converted hexadecimal IP
address was greater than 0x80, then "gethostip" returned an incorrect
hexadecimal conversion. With this updated package, "gethostip" performs the
hexadecimal IP address conversion correctly. (BZ#427736)
All users of syslinux are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
