Updated tftp packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is normally used only for booting diskless workstations. The tftp package provides the user interface for TFTP, which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. The tftp-server package provides the server for TFTP which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#655830
When the small files were transferred and the "-v" option was enabled, the tftp client printed incorrect statistics about the transfer. This update fixes printing of the transfer statistics.
- BZ#714240
The tftpd daemon did not correctly handle the utimeout option value. If a client specified a utimeout value within the permitted range, it caused the tftpd process to crash. This crash only affected the current tftp request.
All users of tftp and tftp-server should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
