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).

Description Paolo Abeni 2015-11-25 13:27:35 UTC 
After dumbly upgrading to rhel-7.2 from rhel-7.1 with:

yum upgrade --releasever 7.2

every time I try to establish the vpn connection to the RH intranet via nm/libreswan, the process nm-libreswan-service abort.

Comment 2 Lubomir Rintel 2016-01-06 17:06:13 UTC 
A couple of issues here:

libreswan indicates failure listening on the interface (virbr0) where it should not listed. It seems errorneously marked closed now, I"ll re-send the fix: https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/pull/42

We trust the libreswan not to do the above (which caused the connection to fail): https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openswan/commit/?h=nm-1-0&id=0d73bef35688faf442414be545e2aa0cdef10118

We clean up incorrectly (which is what caused the crash): https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openswan/commit/?h=nm-1-0&id=98ad323105c89ac0d847996653463c250aa9f12a

All fixed upstream; will be fixed with the plugin rebase with RHEL 7.3.
