RHBA-2012:0865 - ipvsadm bug fix update

Synopsis

ipvsadm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ipvsadm packages that fix one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ipvsadm package provides the ipsvadm tool to administer the IP Virtual Server services offered by the Linux kernel.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the ipvsadm utility did not correctly handle out-of-order messages from the kernel concerning the sync daemon. As a consequence, the "ipvsadm --list --daemon" command did not always output the status of the sync daemon. With this update, the ordering of messages from the kernel no longer influences the output, and the command always returns the sync daemon status. (BZ#788529)

All users of ipvsadm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
