RHBA-2011:1285 - portreserve bug fix update
Synopsis
portreserve bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated portreserve package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The portreserve package helps services with well-known ports that lie in the portmap range. It prevents portmap from occupying a real service's port by occupying it itself, until the real service tells it to release the port, generally in the init script.
- Prior to this update, the portreserve daemon exited after the first port was released. As a result, all ports that services registered for portreserve were released when one of these services asked for its port to be released. With this update portreserve releases now only the requested ports. (BZ#734765)
All portreserve users are advised to upgrade to this update, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
