Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2003:213 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE : Updated iptables packages are available 2003-08-25 04:00:00 UTC

Description Andre 2003-05-16 18:49:09 UTC
Description of problem:

The updated kernel (2.4.20-13.8) from advisory RHSA-2003:172-23 is not
compatible with iptables-1.2.6a-2.  The -m owner match no longer works. 
Upgrading to RedHat 9's iptables-1.2.7a-2 corrects the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

iptables-1.2.6a-2
kernel-2.4.20-13.8

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner 0 -j ACCEPT

Actual results:

iptables: Invalid argument

Expected results:

Additional info:

Upgrading to iptables-1.2.7a-2 corrects this problem.  (Advisory should be
changed to include the new iptables packages?)

Comment 1 Tulipánt Gergely 2003-05-21 23:30:11 UTC
ditto for redhat 7.3 linux

Comment 2 Thomas Woerner 2003-07-03 09:37:02 UTC
Fixed in the new 1.2.8-4.x version. This version has a new startup script and an
additional config file.
