Updated iptables packages that correct a security problem are now available.
The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel.
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 Fedora Core 1 - i386
Under certain conditions, iptables did not properly load the required modules at system startup, which caused the firewall rules to fail to load and protect the system from remote attackers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0986 to this issue.
Users of iptables are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain backported patches correcting these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
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 yum and apt. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit http://www fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.
