Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rng-utils package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The rng-utils package provides random number generator utilities for user space,
such as the rngd daemon.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- A new "-i" (or "--ignorefail") command line option is now supported by the
rngd daemon. This option allows rngd to ignore repeated warning messages about
failed FIPS checks. Additionally, the rngd(8) manual page has been updated to
provide a description of this newly added option. (BZ#754290)
All users of rng-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
adds this enhancement.
