We are pleased to announce the availability of Shorewall 3.4.6. Problems Corrected in 3.4.6.
1) If the "Mangle FORWARD Chain" capability was supported, entries in
the /etc/shorewall/ecn file would cause invalid iptables
commands to be generated.
2) Certain errors occurring during
start/restart/safe-start/safe-restart/try processing could cause
the lockfile to be left behind. This resulted in a 60-second delay
the next time one of these commands was run.
3) It was not previously possible to define traffic shaping on a
bridge port; the generated script complained that the
interface was not up and configured.
4) Previously, using a port list in the DEST PORT(S) column of the
rules file or in an action file caused an invalid iptables command
to be generated.
5) Using the LOG target in the rules file could result in two LOG
rules being generated. Additionally, using an IP address range in a
rule that performed logging could result in an invalid iptables
command.
6) Shorewall now loads the act_police kernel module needed by traffic
shaping.
7) Previously, "shorewall show -f capabilities" and "shorecap" omitted
the "TCPMSS Match" capability. This made it appear to a compiler
using a capabilities file that the TCPMSS Match capability was not
available.
8) Previously, Shorewall would truncate long log prefixes to 29
characters. This resulted in there being no space between the log
prefix and the IN= part of the message.
Example: fw2net:LOG:HTTPSoutIN= OUT=eth0
Beginning with this release, Shorewall will truncate the prefix to
28 bytes and add a trailing space.
Example: fw2net:LOG:HTTPSou IN= OUT=eth0
9) Previously, if:
- FASTACCEPT=No
- The policy from Z1 to Z2 was CONTINUE
- Z1 and Z2 were orphans (neither had parent zones)
- There were no Z1->Z2 rules
then connections from Z2->Z1 would fail even if there were
rules/policies allowing them. This has been
corrected.
Other changes in 3.4.6.
1) Processing of the message log in the 'show log', 'logwatch' and
'dump' commands has been speeded up thanks to a suggestion by
Andrew Suffield.
