1.43.1. RHEA-2011:0556: enhancement update

An enhanced ebtables package is now available.
Ethernet bridge tables is a firewalling tool to transparently filter network traffic passing a bridge. The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some basic filtering on higher network layers.
Auditing support is added to create a kernel audit record that records the information flow between a host, guest, and other network entities. (BZ#642394)
All users requiring firewalling for Ethernet bridge tables are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
