[Bug 1951018] Re: No ability to discern IPv4 vs IPv6 rules through Python
I now realize that I may have submitted this bug to the wrong location. Should I submit this to the UFW source site (https://launchpad.net/ufw) or is it alright to keep it here? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951018 Title: No ability to discern IPv4 vs IPv6 rules through Python To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ufw/+bug/1951018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1951018] [NEW] No ability to discern IPv4 vs IPv6 rules through Python
Public bug reported: Version: ufw 0.36 Ubuntu Version: 20.04.3 LTS There doesn't appear to be a Python method for accessing IPv4 and IPv6 rules in a distinguishable manner. In the source code (root/src/backend.py) there is an object that stores IPv4 and IPv6 rules in separate lists. Those lists are then accessed with the following method: def get_rules(self): '''Return list of all rules''' return self.rules + self.rules6 The issue with this is that the returned list doesn't contain an indication of what IP version each item corresponds to and would display something like the following. 1 allow 22/tcp 2 allow 80 3 allow 443 4 allow 22/tcp 5 allow 80 6 allow 443 I don't currently see a way to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 rules other than accessing the lists in the backend object directly (but I don't think this is best practice). E.g.: rules_ipv4 = backend.rules rules_ipv6 = backend.rules6 One possible fix would be to add functions that return only the IPv4 or IPv6 rules. E.g.: def get_rules_ipv4(self): '''Return list of all ipv4 rules''' return self.rules def get_rules_ipv6(self): '''Return list of all ipv6 rules''' return self.rules6 ** Affects: ufw (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951018 Title: No ability to discern IPv4 vs IPv6 rules through Python To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ufw/+bug/1951018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
