RHBA-2012:0726 - rp-pppoe bug fix update
Synopsis
rp-pppoe bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated rp-pppoe packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The rp-pppoe packages provide the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client, a user-mode program that does not require any kernel modifications. This client is fully compliant with RFC 2516, the official PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) specification.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the pppoe-server did not correctly calculate the value of the Access Concentrator (AC) Cookie on Intel 64 and AMD64 platforms. As a consequence, the pppoe-server did not return a PPPoE active discovery session-confirmation (PADS) packet to the client. This update modifies the pppoe-server code so that a PADS packet is returned. (BZ#606403)
All users of rp-pppoe are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
