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.

Description Ole Holm Nielsen 2017-01-25 09:48:22 UTC
Description of problem:
The firewall-cmd --set-description command fails with an error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firewalld-0.4.3.2-8.1.el7_3.noarch

How reproducible: 
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an ipset: firewall-cmd --permanent --new-ipset=geoblock --type=hash:net
2. Run firewall-cmd --permanent --ipset=geoblock --set-description="Geoblock ipset"

Actual results:
Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/firewall/client.py", line 53, in handle_exceptions
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/firewall/client.py", line 441, in update
    self.fw_zone.update(tuple(settings.settings))
AttributeError: 'FirewallClientConfigZone' object has no attribute 'settings'

Expected results:
No errors

Additional info:
The description seems to be saved in /etc/firewalld/zones/public.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<zone>
  <short>Geoblock ipset</short>
  <description>Geoblock ipset</description>
  <service name="dhcpv6-client"/>
  <service name="ssh"/>
  <port protocol="tcp" port="2049"/>
  <port protocol="udp" port="2049"/>
</zone>

and the --get-description shows this:

# firewall-cmd --permanent --ipset=geoblock --get-description
Geoblock ipset

Comment 2 Thomas Woerner 2017-01-26 12:06:11 UTC
The options --{set,get}-{short,description} have not been used for ipset and helper in firewall-cmd and for helper in firewall-offline-cmd.

Comment 7 Thomas Woerner 2017-05-03 13:56:03 UTC
Settig back into ASSIGNED state to merge fix for #1445238, which is related.
