RHBA-2014:0683 - nmap bug fix update
Synopsis
nmap bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated nmap packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The nmap packages provide a network exploration utility and a security scanner.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the ncat utility printed debug messages even in verbose mode. As a consequence, after connecting through an HTTP proxy, a debug message was displayed together with the received data, which could interfere with the automated processing of standard output. With this update, ncat prints debug messages only in verbose mode as expected. (BZ#1000770)
Users of nmap 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/site/articles/11258
