Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Bug 2221107

Summary: libxtables: Revert change to struct xtables_pprot [rhel-8.8.0.z]
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Reporter: RHEL Program Management Team <pgm-rhel-tools>
Component: iptablesAssignee: Phil Sutter <psutter>
Status: CLOSED ERRATA QA Contact: Jiri Peska <jpeska>
Severity: unspecified Docs Contact:
Priority: unspecified    
Version: 8.8CC: egarver, jpeska, todoleza, toneata
Target Milestone: rcKeywords: Triaged, Upstream, ZStream
Target Release: ---Flags: pm-rhel: mirror+
Hardware: Unspecified   
OS: Unspecified   
Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: iptables-1.8.4-24.el8_8.2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: In iptables-1.8.4-23.el8, libxtables exported struct xtables_pprot changed: Its last field increased in size from 8 bits to 16. Consequence: Due to typical word boundary alignment, this size change should not have an effect. Should the data structure be used embedded in a packed surrounding structure though, the size change is noticeable and will likely break applications. Fix: The last field's size was reverted to the original value. Result: Potential libxtables ABI breakage reverted.
