Bug #: 37395
Summary: Treat 6to4 addresses equivalent to IPv4 addresses when
checking user blocking
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User blocking
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: liang...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
See also bug 35542 but I would bump severity for this.
We already have IPv6 enabled on Wikimedia but we only gave sysops rights to do
range blocks of /64. However with 6to4, holder of an IPv4 address can get an
IPv6 range of /48, which renders IP blocking completely useless if vandals know
about 6to4.
