After the upgrade syslog seems to be failing...

Subject: IPFilter 4.1.11

This release of IPFilter comes after the code base has been covered
by Coverity scans via both FreeBSD and NetBSD.  This picked up a whole
range of "bugs", some of which were quite deliberate choices at the
time - like not free'ing up malloc'd space when returning from a
function in a program that runs and exist.  Anyhow, the good news
is that the code has been through that already.

There are two important changes with this release.

The first is I have added in poll(2) support for the device driver
on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Linux.  ipmon hasn't yet been
updated to use this, that'll come next.

The second is I've "fixed" /dev/ipauth so it can be used now.
The motivation for this came with the desire to write a program
to use grey-listing to help stem the spam tide.  More on that in
another email.

For Solaris users, you will need to update pfil as well, to 2.1.8.
This change is required because to address testing of ipfauth, I
needed to generate TCP RSTs and that wasn't happening if I just
receive a new packet and no traffic before hand.  The only problem
with this fix is that if I generate the first packet to go out of
a NIC after it is plumb'd, and it is a TCP RST, it has the wrong
checksum.  Subsequent packets, even if an ARP is required, are all
fine.

On the feature side of things, someone didn't like that it wasn't
possible to list multiple interfaces in a single rule, like is
possible with addresses, so this is now possible:
block in on (ex0 ex1) all

4.1.11 - Released 19 March 2006

Patch for NAT with ipfsync from N. Ersen (SESCI) - www.enderunix.org

NetBSD coverity report fixes (from run 5)

Possible to reacquire ipf_auth without releasing it in some circumstances

Locking in FreeBSD's iplioctl for ipf_global isn't present like it shoudl be

Add poll support for platforms I can build on: NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris,
Linux

Using auth rules to return "keep state" got broken with pushing fr_addstate
call into fr_firewall

all use of '!' in map/rdr rules to match use in ipf configs

add -L command line option to ipmon to set the default syslog facility

looking up a port number is more complex than needed in ipft_tx.c

allow lib/getport to work when neither tcp or udp are specified in a rule

remove some dead code from lib/addicmpc, lib/facpri.c, lib/icmpcode.c

program in some more cases where TCP packets fail an initial in-window
check but should be allowed to match

filter rule added with NAT/state handling of SIOCSTPUT doesn't properly
initialise all fields, making it possible to panic

simplify NAT ICMP error handling where it updates checksums

rename "min" variables to "xmin" on NetBSD to avoid problems with the
macro "min"

#ifdef's for NetBSD compile incorrect for pfil interface

support select/poll on NetBSD

copying out a packet with an auth rule fails (EFAULT) because the wrong
pointer is passed to copyoutptr

ip_len/ip_off where byte swapped twice instead of once for packets
going to be stored on the auth queue

change timeout queue manipulation functions to make fewer mutex calls

fix use of skip rules with groups

fix coding problems discovered by the coverity project for FreeBSD

update BPF program validation with FreeBSD changes

4.1.10 - Released 6 December 2005
