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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:0837 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE system-config-firewall bug fix update 2014-07-07 12:04:46 UTC

Description Marian Ganisin 2010-09-17 07:51:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
Default iptables rules for IPv6 don't allow DHCPv6 configuration. It requires port 546 open for NEW connection, dhcpv6-client is listening there for reply.

There are few similar bugs reported to Fedora, however I didn't find any bugreport for rhel6

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6 RC
iptables-1.4.7-3


Fedora bugreports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591630
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552099

Additional info:
I am not sure where to report this. Now I chose system-config-firewall, however probably this could be cloned/assigned also for anaconda as it is probably responsible for initial setup.
Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2010-12-17 15:07:58 UTC 
After several discussions with Thomas Graf and Thomas Woerner the final
solution will now be mainly handled via a new kernel module that "does the
right thing"(tm). So the only changes we need now at the moment is the kernel
module and support in anaconda initially.

Moving this bug to 6.2 to cover how we handle this properly in s-c-f then (aka,
lokkit support and new service).

Thanks & regards, Phil

system-config-firewall-1.2.27-rhbz#634857.patch

I had been hit by this recently too, so I tried to steal a fix from system-config-firewall-1.2.29-6.fc17 and applied it over rhel6 current system-config-firewall-1.2.27-5.el6 

Applies cleanly and works great.
