Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-154
2004-06-03
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 2
Name        : net-tools
Version     : 1.60
Release     : 25.1
Summary     : Basic networking tools.
Description :
The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including
ifconfig, netstat, route, and others.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The code in netlink.c is based in part on the code of iproute. It
was not updated when CAN-2003-0856 was announced. The code in
question is within the netlink_listen & netlink_receive_dump
functions. They should both check the source of the packets by
looking at nl_pid and ensuring that it is 0 before performing
any reconfiguration of network interfaces.

These updated packages now contain the latest netplug daemon which fixes 
that problem. All users of netplug are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 
these new packages.
