3.52. net-tools

download PDF
An updated net-tools package that fixes multiple bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including ifconfig, netstat, or route. Netstat, for example, prints information about the Linux networking subsystem.

Bug Fixes

BZ#1015547
When the "netstat --sctp -n" command was run on a system with large number of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) connections, the netstat utility terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. A patch that makes netstat sanitize input has been applied and netstat no longer crashes.
BZ#1015550
Running the "netstat --sctp -n" command caused netstat to print IP addresses incorrectly for the SCTP protocol. A patch has been back-ported from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and netstat now shows correct IP addresses for SCTP protocol.
All users of net-tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
