Hash: SHA256
Shorewall 5.1.3 Beta 1 is now available for testing.
Problems Corrected:
1) This release includes defect repair for releases through 5.1.2.1.
2) Previously, the following compiler directives were incorrectly
being processed when they should have been omitted due to
?if...?else logic.
ERROR
WARNING
INFO
WARNING!
INFO!
REQUIRE
That has been corrected.
New Features:
1) The tarball installers and uninstallers have been unified and
now use a common library that is included in each tarball (Matt
Darfuille).
2) The installers now print a diagnostic if the relevant shorewallrc
file can not be loaded (Matt Darfuille).
3) The /etc/default/... files installed on Debian are now dependent on
whether systemd is used or not (Matt Darfuille).
4) In Perl 5.8.1 and again in 5.18.0, the Perl developers altered the
behavior of the hash function used in the implementation of
hashes. The hash key is now chosen randomly as a defense against
DOS attacks targeting Perl programs. Such attacks supply input data
that causes a single hash bucket to be used. While those changes
improved security, they cause non-deterministic program behavior
when the 'keys', 'values' and 'each' functions are used.
Prior to this release, Shorewall sorted the lists produced by those
functions to ensure that consecutive compilations of the same
configuration produced the same ruleset. In this release,
compilation speed has been improved by removing the sort calls and
by instructing Perl to use a constant hash key.
Note: The ruleset produced by this release will be equivalent
to that produced by 5.1.2, but will likely be different.
5) All builtin actions have been replaced with standard actions. In
some cases. the standard action produces different but equivalent
rules when compared to those produced by the corresponding builtin
action.
Thank you for testing,
