   "iptables on Red Hat Linux systems has been reported prone
    to a vulnerability, which may prevent the iptables firewall
    from functioning correctly.

    The issue presents itself due to recent Red Hat kernel updates."

If you're running RH 7.1 thru 8.0 and recently applied kernel updates
and use IPTables, check the RH advisory (RHSA-2003:213) for a fix.

    instead of the NewsForge link... ;)
