The following reply was made to PR bin/104921; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ryan Steinmetz <z...@freebsd.org> To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/104921: [patch] ipfw(8) sometimes treats ipv6 input as ipv4 (another variation on PR 91245) Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 08:42:20 -0400
I can confirm this issue also exists on 8.2 as of today. It appears as if ipfw is incorrectly assuming that an IPv6 address is an invalid IPv4 address with a mask. For example: 2001:1:2:3::4,2001:1:2:3::5 is treated as an IPv4 address of 2001 with a mask of 1:2:3::4 (as if it were specified as 1.2.3.4:255.255.255.0). Specifying the IPv6 address without the comma results in a successful rule being created. -- Ryan Steinmetz PGP: EF36 D45A 5CA9 28B1 A550 18CD A43C D111 7AD7 FAF2 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ipfw@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ipfw To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ipfw-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
