<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.0.0, there is no single 'shorewall'
|
|
package. Rather there are two compiler packages (shorewall-shell and
|
|
shorewall-perl) and a set of base files (shorewall-common) required by
|
|
either compiler package.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Although the names of the packages are changing, you can upgrade
|
|
without having to uninstall/reinstall.</para>

<para>If you attempt to upgrade using the shorewall-common RPM, you

get this result:<programlisting>gateway:~ # <command>rpm -Uvh shorewall-common-4.0.0.noarch.rpm </command>

you don't want shorewall-shell, use the second command

you are upgrading using the tarball, you must install shorewall-shell
|

and/or shorewall-perl before you upgrade using shorewall-common.
|
|
Otherwise, the install.sh script fails with:<simplelist>
|
|
<member>ERROR: No Shorewall compiler is installed</member>
|

installed from the tarball in the expected way; untar the package, and
|

run the install.sh script.</para>
|

|
<para>Example 1: You have 'shorewall' installed and you want to
|
|
continue to use the shorewall-shell compiler.<programlisting><command>tar -jxf shorewall-common-4.0.0.tar.bz2

tar -jxf shorewall-shell-4.0.0.tar.bz2

|
cd ../shorewall-common-4.0.0
|
|
./install.sh

shorewall restart</command></programlisting>Example 2: You have shorewall
|
|
3.4.4 and shorewall-perl 4.0.0-Beta7 installed and you want to upgrade
|
|
to 4.0. You do not need the shell-based compiler.<programlisting><command>tar -jxf shorewall-common-4.0.0.tar.bz2
|
|
tar -jxf shorewall-perl-4.0.0.tar.bz2

cd ../shorewall-common-4.0.0
|

./install.sh
|

shorewall check
|

shorewall restart</command></programlisting> The RPMs are set up so that if
|
|
you upgrade an existing Shorewall installation as part of a
|
|
distribution upgrade and you have not already installed
|

shorewall-perl, then you will end up with Shorewall-common and

Shorewall-shell installed.</para>

<para>The ROUTE_FILTER and LOG_MARTIANS options in shorewall.conf work

slightly differently in Shorewall 4.0.0. In prior releases, leaving

|
these options empty was equivalent to setting them to 'No' which
|
|
caused the corresponding flag in /proc to be reset for all interfaces.
|
|
Beginning in Shorewall 4.0.0, leaving these options empty causes
|
|
Shorewall to leave the flags in /proc as they are. You must set the
|
|
option to 'No' in order to obtain the old behavior.</para>

<listitem>
|
|
<para>Shorewall supports the notion of "default actions". A default
|
|
action defines a set of rules that are applied before a policy is
|
|
enforced. Default actions accomplish two goals:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Relieve log congestion. Default actions typically include
|
|
rules to silently drop or reject traffic that would otherwise be
|
|
logged when the policy is enforced.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Insure correct operation. Default actions can also avoid
|
|
common pitfalls like dropping connection requests on TCP port 113.
|
|
If these connections are dropped (rather than rejected) then you
|
|
may encounter problems connecting to internet services that
|
|
utilize the AUTH protocol of client authentication.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>In prior Shorewall versions, default actions (action.Drop and
|
|
action.Reject) were defined for DROP and REJECT policies in
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename>. These could be
|
|
overridden in <filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This approach has two drawbacks:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
|
|
<listitem>
|

<para>All DROP policies must use the same default action and all
|

REJECT policies must use the same default action.</para>

|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Now that we have <ulink
|
|
url="Modularization.html">modularized action processing</ulink>,
|
|
we need a way to define default rules for a policy that does not
|
|
involve actions.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have not overridden the defaults using entries in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename> then you need make no
|
|
changes to migrate to Shorewall version 3.4. If you have overridden
|
|
either of these entries, then please read on.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The change in version 3.4 is two-fold:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Four new options have been added to the
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> file that allow

specifying the default action for DROP, REJECT, ACCEPT and
|
|
QUEUE.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The options are DROP_DEFAULT, REJECT_DEFAULT, ACCEPT_DEFAULT
|
|
and QUEUE_DEFAULT.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>DROP_DEFAULT describes the rules to be applied before a
|
|
connection request is dropped by a DROP policy; REJECT_DEFAULT
|
|
describes the rules to be applied if a connection request is
|
|
rejected by a REJECT policy. The other two are similar for ACCEPT
|

and QUEUE policies. The value assigned to these may be:</para>

<para>Previously, Shorewall has not attempted to undo the changes it
|
|
has made to the firewall's routing as a result of entries in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/routes</filename>. Beginning with this
|
|
release, Shorewall will attempt to undo these changes. This change can
|
|
present a migration issue in that the initial routing configuration
|
|
when this version of Shorewall is installed has probably been changed
|
|
by Shorewall already. Hence, when Shorewall restores the original
|
|
configuration, it will be installing a configuration that the
|
|
previously-installed version has already modified.</para>

<para>The steps to correcting this after you have installed version

3.4 or later of Shorewall are as follows:</para>

|
<member>SMTP</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each of these macros now handles only traffic on the native
|
|
(plaintext) port. There is a corresponding macro with S added to the
|
|
end of the name for the SSL version of the same protocol. Thus each
|
|
macro results in the insertion of only one port per invocation. The
|
|
Web macro has not been split, but two new macros, HTTP and HTTPS have
|
|
been created. The Web macro is deprecated in favour of these new
|
|
macros, and may be removed from future Shorewall releases.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These changes have been made to ensure no unexpected ports are
|

opened due to the use of macros.</para>

</listitem>
|

<listitem>
|
|
<para>In previous Shorewall releases, DNAT and REDIRECT rules
|
|
supported a special syntax for exclusion of a subnet from the effect

of the rule.</para>

<programlisting>DNAT Z1!Z2 loc:192.168.1.4 ...</programlisting>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>That feature has never worked correctly when Z2 is a dynamic
|
|
zone. Furthermore, now that Shorewall supports exclusion lists, the
|
|
capability is redundant since the above rule can now be written in the
|
|
form:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>DNAT Z1:!<list of exclusions> loc:192.168.1.4 ...</programlisting>

<para>Important if you use the QUEUE target.</para>

<para>In the /etc/shorewall/rules file and in actions, you may now

specify 'tcp:syn' in the PROTO column. 'tcp:syn' is equivalent to
|
|
'tcp' but also requires that the SYN flag is set and the RST, FIN and
|
|
ACK flags be off ("--syn" is added to the iptables rule).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As part of this change, Shorewall no longer adds the "--syn"
|
|
option to TCP rules that specify QUEUE as their target.</para>

|
|
<para>Extension Scripts may require change</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In previous releases, extension scripts were executed during
|
|
<command>[re]start</command> by using the Bourne Shell "." operator.
|
|
In addition to executing commands during <command>[re]start</command>,
|
|
these scripts had to "save" the commands to be executed during
|
|
<command>shorewall restore</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This clumsiness has been eliminated in Shorewall 3.2. In
|
|
Shorewall 3.2, extension scripts are copied in-line into the compiled
|
|
program and are executed in-line during <command>start</command>,
|
|
<command>restart</command> and <command>restore</command>. This
|
|
applies to all extension scripts except those associated with a chain
|
|
or action -- those extension scripts continue to be processed at
|
|
compile time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This new approach has two implications for existing
|
|
scripts.</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>It is no longer necessary to save the commands; so functions
|
|
like 'save_command', 'run_and_save_command' and

|
'ensure_and_save_command' need no longer be called. The generated

program will contain functions with these names:</para>

<simplelist>
|

<member>save_command() - does nothing</member>

|
|
|
<member>run_and_save_command() - runs the passed

command</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>ensure_and_save_command() - runs the passed command and
|
|
stops the firewall if the command fails.</member>
|
|
</simplelist>

scripts that use them until you can get around to eliminating

their use completely.</para>

<para>When the extension script is copied into the compiled

will correctly handle line continuation (last character on the
|
|
line = "\"). If you do not have awk, it will not be possible to
|
|
use line-continuation in your extension scripts. In no case is it
|
|
possible to continue a quoted string over multiple lines without

having additional whitespace inserted into the string.</para>

Previously, CLASSIFY tcrules were always processed out of the
|
|
POSTROUTING chain. Beginning with this release, they are processed out
|
|
of the POSTROUTING chain *except* when the SOURCE is
|
|
$FW[:<address>] in which case the rule is processed out of the
|
|
OUTPUT chain.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>With correctly-coded rulesets, this change should have no
|
|
effect. Users having incorrectly-coded tcrules may need to change
|
|
them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<programlisting>#MARK/ SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE
|
|
#CLASSIFY PORTS(S) PORT(S)
|
|
1:110 $FW eth3 tcp - 22</programlisting>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>While the user may have expected this rule to only affect
|
|
traffic from the firewall itself, the rule was really equivalent to
|
|
this one:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<programlisting>#MARK/ SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE
|
|
#CLASSIFY PORTS(S) PORT(S)
|
|
1:110 0.0.0.0/0 eth3 tcp - 22</programlisting>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>So after this change, the second rule will be required rather
|
|
than the first if that is what was really wanted.</para>

<para>Additionally the FW option in shorewall.conf has been deprecated

|
|
|
|
<para>Adhering to the principle of least astonishment, the old
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/ipsec</filename> file will continue to be

|
supported. A new IPSECFILE variable in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
|
|
determines the name of the file that Shorewall looks in for IPSEC
|
|
information. If that variable is not set or is set to the empty value
|
|
then IPSECFILE=ipsec is assumed. So if you simply upgrade and don't do
|
|
something idiotic like replace your current shorewall.conf file with
|
|
the new one, your old configuration will continue to work. A dummy
|
|
'ipsec' file is included in the release so that your package manager
|
|
(e.g., rpm) won't remove your existing file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The shorewall.conf file included in this release sets

IPSECFILE=zones so that new users are expected to use the <ulink

<para>Most of the standard actions have been replaced by parameterized

macros (see below). So for example, the action.AllowSMTP and

action.DropSMTP have been removed an a parameterized macro macro.SMTP
|
|
has been added to replace them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In order that current users don't have to immediately update
|
|
their rules and user-defined actions, Shorewall can substitute an
|
|
invocation of the a new macro for an existing invocation of one of the
|
|
old actions. So if your rules file calls AllowSMTP, Shorewall will
|
|
replace that call with SMTP/ACCEPT. Because this substitution is
|
|
expensive, it is conditional based on the setting of MAPOLDACTIONS in
|
|
shorewall.conf. If this option is set to YES or if it is not set (such
|
|
as if you are using your old shorewall.conf file) then Shorewall will
|
|
perform the substitution. Once you have converted to use the new
|
|
macros, you can set MAPOLDACTIONS=No and invocations of those actions
|
|
will go much quicker during 'shorewall [re]start'.</para>
