-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-12367 2012-08-21 09:29:28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : keepalived Product : Fedora 16 Version : 1.2.3 Release : 2.fc16 URL : http://www.keepalived.org/ Summary : High Availability monitor built upon LVS, VRRP and service pollers Description : The main goal of the keepalived project is to add a strong & robust keepalive facility to the Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. Keepalived implements a framework based on three family checks : Layer3, Layer4 & Layer5/7. This framework gives the daemon the ability to check the state of an LVS server pool. When one of the servers of the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the linux kernel via a setsockopt call to remove this server entry from the LVS topology. In addition keepalived implements an independent VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover. So in short keepalived is a userspace daemon for LVS cluster nodes healthchecks and LVS directors failover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to keepalived v1.2.3 stable release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Aug 20 2012 Ryan O'Hara <rohara@redhat.com> - 1.2.3-2 - Remove unused patches. * Mon Aug 20 2012 Ryan O'Hara <rohara@redhat.com> - 1.2.3-1 - Update to 1.2.3. - Fix permissions on pid file (#704040). * Tue Mar 20 2012 Ryan O'Hara <rohara@redhat.com> - 1.2.2-4 - Fix IPv4 address comparison (#768119). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #704039 - CVE-2011-1784 keepalived: insecure permissions on pid files https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704039 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
