It was reported that the initial build of these updates complained that the Linux capability module was not present and would refuse to load. It was determined that the packages which were compiled on 10.2 and 11.0 systems running 2.6 kernels, and although the installed kernel headers are from 2.4.x, it picked up on this resulting in packages that would only run under 2.4 kernels. These new packages address the issue. As always, any problems noted with update patches should be reported to

security advisoryFedora Corekernel compatibilityFedora Core: Yaboot-1.3.12-10 Update Critical: Bootloader Compatibility Fix
Updated package.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-692 2005-08-04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : yaboot Version : 1.3.12 Release : 10 Summary : Linux bootloader for Power Macintosh "New World" computers. Description : yaboot is a bootloader for PowerPC machines which works on New World ROM machines (Rev. A iMac and newer) and runs directly from Open Firmware, eliminating the need for Mac OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Kernels later than 1.3.12-mm1 no longer provide symlinks in /proc/device-tree. Yaboot's ofpath binary had a check for BootX that would error in such a case, this update eliminates that check so ofpath continues to work on FC4 kernel updates. Impact is minimal as ofpath is not required to be run after the initial install. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Thu Aug 4 2005 Paul Nasrat - 1.3.12-10 - Fix ofpath for 2.6.12-mm1 and later ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: ae803bca2df088183f8d6a07c200789a SRPMS/yaboot-1.3.12-10.src.rpm 87814fba0aa5bb1ecadb53eae6b7e5bb ppc/yaboot-1.3.12-10.ppc.rpm 9df0ddc59eb5a19f8c381c4075981269 ppc/debug/yaboot-debuginfo-1.3.12-10.ppc.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailing list

security advisoryRed Hat Linuxcritical issueRed Hat Linux 7.x & 8.0 RHSA-2003:213-01 Critical: Iptables Upgrade Issue
Recent updates to the kernel in Red Hat Linux versions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and8.0 did not also update the iptables utility, causing functions such asowner match to stop working.. ` - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated iptables packages are available Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:213-01 Issue date: 2003-08-25 Updated on: 2003-08-25 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: Cross references: Obsoletes: - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated iptables packages which are fully compatible with recent kernel updates are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386 3. Problem description: The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel. Recent updates to the kernel in Red Hat Linux versions 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 did not also update the iptables utility, causing functions such as owner match to stop working. These issues could in some circumstances cause a firewall to fail to restart after a kernel upgrade. Users are therefore advised to upgrade to these erratum packages which contain an update to version 1.2.8 of iptables. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red HatNetwork, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed ( for more info): 91040 - iptables-1.2.6a-2 not compatible with kernel-2.4.20-13.8 91560 - iptables-1.2.6a won't save rule with --icmp-type 6. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 7.1: SRPMS: i386: Red Hat Linux 7.2: SRPMS: i386: Red Hat Linux 7.3: SRPMS: i386: Red Hat Linux 8.0: SRPMS: i386: 7.
