RHBA-2013:1726 - lksctp-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

lksctp-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated lksctp-tools packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

These packages are intended to supplement the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation, which has been a part of the kernel since kernel version 2.5.36. For more information on LKSCTP see the section titled "LKSCTP - Linux Kernel SCTP" in the README file included in the package documentation. These packages contain the base runtime library and command line tools.

The lksctp-tools packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.0.10, which provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. The patches include updates in the header file which enable users to make use of new SCTP kernel features, for example, the introduction of SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS socket option in order to retrieve association statistics. (BZ#855379, BZ#908390, BZ#912557, BZ#953383)

Users of lksctp-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
