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.

Additional info:

The bug reported by me is closed actually for fix in upstream but the update never landed to el6.4
If i use icedtea-web-1.3.1-1.fc18.i686.rpm works fine.
jiri vanek in 911960 bug, speak about upstream fix, but 1.3 no packaged yet for el6, and the initial bug report about this is since 2013-02-16 19:32:03 EST

Hi!

Yes. the issue is fixed in  upstream, and correct, 1.3 never reached rhel. However rhel 6.5 will have icedtea-web 1.4, which is solving this issue too.

Unluckily the backport of fixws to 1.2 is not possible. Are you ok with 1.4 in 6.5?

Hi jiri vanek,

I'm using 6.4 (CentOS), 6.5 is no released yet in CentOS distro, I'll have to wait to be solved in 6.5 CentOS. Meanwhile using 1.3.x under 6.4 works fine.

Using 1.4-2 fc19 in CentOS 6.4 work fine, using rpm -Uvh --nodeps
