RHBA-2009:1676 - iptstate bug fix update

Synopsis

iptstate bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated iptstate package that resolves an issue is now available.

Description

The iptstate utility displays the states held by your stateful firewall in a top-like manner.

This updated iptstate package fixes the following bug:

  • iptstate used a curses output function in single-run mode where curses is not used. Running "ipstate -s -S [address] -D [address]" caused ipstate to crash with a Segmentation Fault error. Note: running the command without the single-run mode switch (-s) did not crash. With this update, the bug is fixed and iptstate runs in single-run mode correctly, as expected. (BZ#474381)

All iptstate users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
