Chapter 1. Package Updates
150
Libdhcp now activates the interface when a static configuration is specified, even when no DHCP
server is present so that network-based installations are possible. (
BZ#233066
1140
)
• previously, the method used by libdhcp to build a list of network interfaces available on a system
could accommodate a maximum of 86 interfaces. As a consequence, attempts to perform network-
based installations through interfaces eth86 and higher would fail. libdhcp now uses libnl to build a
list of valid interfaces and therefore is no longer limited to the first 86 that it finds. Network-based
installations are therefore possible on a wider range of hardware and network configurations.
(
BZ#444919
1141
)
Interfaces using static network configuration are properly handled during installation.
• The system will now see all available network interfaces in the system during installation, rather than
stopping at eth85.
All users of libdhcp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
1.119. libgcrypt
1.119.1. RHEA-2009:1264: enhancement update
Updated libgcrypt packages that contain enhancements necessary for FIPS validation are now
available.
The libgcrypt library provides general-purpose implementations of various cryptographic algorithms.
This updated package rebases the libgcrypt library to version 1.4.4, the current upstream version. This
rebase adds the following enhancements:
• runtime self-tests and FIPS mode setting have been added, both of which are necessary for Federal
Information Processing Standards level 1 (FIPS 140-2) validation. Note: libgcrypt 1.4.4 is currently
undergoing FIPS-140-2 validation. FIPS mode is disabled by default, however, to ensure the
libgcrypt library maintains feature parity and ABI compatibility with libgcrypt packages previously
included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The FIPS mode can be enabled with kernel command line
setting or by creating an empty file, /etc/gcrypt/fips_enabled. (
BZ#444803
1142
)
• libgcrypt now works with gnutls in non-enforced FIPS mode. (
BZ#462718
1143
)
libgcrypt users are advised to upgrade to the updated packages, which provides these enhancements.
