Hello,
This email is a status update on Scientific Linux 7.4.
The Scientific Linux 7.4 Release Candidate was published on August 28
2017. There is a serious bug in the upstream provided iptables and
ip6tables services[1] which may result in the firewall being disabled
rather than enabled.
The Scientific Linux team considers this to be a release blocking issue.
We are following the upstream bug reports closely and have published a
SL bugfix package in the 'sl-testing'[2] repo. If an official fix is
not forthcoming soon, we will consider building the SL bugfix package
into the release.
Thanks,
Scientific Linux Team
