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.

Previously, the "{client_port}" value could not be used on little-endian machines, for example in mail filters, because it was set incorrectly. This update corrects the "{client_port}" value on little-endian machines.

Sendmail does not call ntohs on sin.sin_port when setting {client_port} leading to a useless value being set for use by milters, etc. 

Additional info: 

Patch accepted upstream for future release.

Thanks for the patch.
Comment 6 Alois Mahdal 2015-04-04 03:29:11 UTC 
Ran tests on all supported archs and results are as expected:

 *  On Big endian (s390x, ppc64), passing with both old and new,
 *  and on little endian (x86_64, i386), failing with old and passing with new.
