RHBA-2009:1520 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
iproute bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated iproute package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
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.
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
