Product: guarddog
Component: guarddog
Summary: guarddog does not like LANGUAGE French (and others?)
Version: 2.0.0-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you use run guarddog under a language environment that is not C or english
the parsing of the ifconfig command fails to recognize your network interfaces
addresses and so the resulting iptables rules are incorrect.
In english ifconfig shows for example :
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A
inet addr:10.0.0.10 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
In french the same is :
eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:0C:20:8A
inet adr:10.0.0.10 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Masque:255.255.255.0
Notice 'adr:' in english versus 'addr:' in french.
It seems that guarddog incorrectly parse this line using en english pattern.
temporary workaround, run: LANGUAGE=C guarddog
but the parsing should not depend on the language environnment used.
This is a SECURITY ISSUE.
