RHBA-2013:0037 - system-config-bind bug fix update

Synopsis

system-config-bind bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated system-config-bind packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The system-config-bind packages provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) Domain Name System (DNS) server.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the system-config-bind tool did not correctly handle IPv6 addresses without at least one zero sequence. As a consequence, system-config-bind could fail to start with the error "string index out of range" when the full IPv6 address in a configuration file did not contain any zero sequence. This update modifies the underlying code to handle IPv6 addresses without a zero-sequence as expected. Now, all IPv6 addresses can be used. (BZ#669757)

All users of system-config-bind 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.
