RHBA-2018:3670 - ipset bug fix update
Synopsis
ipset bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated ipset packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The ipset packages provide the ipset utility and the ipset service to manage IP sets in the Linux kernel. Depending on the type, an IP set may store IP addresses, networks, (TCP/UDP) port numbers, MAC addresses, interface names or combinations of them in a way that ensures high speed when matching an entry against a set.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Τhe ipset service saves IP sets (lists of IP addresses) in separate files. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.6, when starting the service, each set was loaded sequentially ignoring dependencies between them. As a consequence, the service failed to load IP sets with dependencies on other sets. With this update, the ipset service creates first all the sets included in the saved configuration, and then adds their entries. As a result, IP sets with dependencies on other sets can now be loaded. (BZ#1647836)
Users of ipset are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
