Shorewall 2.4.5<br>
|

</span>
|

<br>
|
||
Problems Corrected in 2.4.5<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>In previous versions, when the command is 'start', 'restart' or
|
||
'stop' then OUTPUT traffic to hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is not enabled if ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes.
|
||
That traffic is now enabled independent of the setting of
|
||
ADMINISABSENTMINDED.</li>
|
||
<li>Although it was documented that icmp types could be used in the
|
||
tcrules file, the code did not support it. Thanks to Jorge Molina, that
|
||
problem is now corrected.</li>
|
||
<li>In a multi-ISP configuration, fwmark routing rules now have a
|
||
higher priority than source IP rules. This allows entries in tcrules to
|
||
be more effective in controlling routing.</li>
|
||
<li>Previously, not all of the mangle chains were flushed during
|
||
"shorewall restart".</li>
|
||
</ol>

|
||
Problems Corrected<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>An incorrect comment in the /etc/shorewall/proxyarp file has been
|
||
removed.</li>
|
||
<li>The message generated when a duplicate policy has been entered is
|
||
now more informative. Previously, only the POLICY column contents
|
||
appeared in the message. Now the SOURCE, DEST and POLICY column
|
||
contents are shown.</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall now clears the Netfilter "raw" table during "shorewall
|
||
[re]start", "shorewall stop" and "shorewall clear" processing.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Tunnel types "openvpnserver" and "openvpnclient" have been added
|
||
to reflect the introduction of client and server OpenVPN configurations
|
||
in OpenVPN 2.0.</li>
|
||
<li>The COMMAND variable is now set to 'restore' in restore scripts.
|
||
The value of this variable is sometimes of interest to programmers
|
||
providing custom /etc/shorewall/tcstart scripts.<br>
|
||

Problems Corrected:<br>
|

<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall is no longer dependent on the 'which' utility.</li>
|
||
<li>The 'shorewall add' command failed if there existed a zone in the
|
||
configuration that specified the 'ipsec' option in /etc/shorewall/hosts.</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall is no longer dependent on /bin/echo.</li>
|
||
<li>A CLASSIFY rule with $FW in the SOURCE column (tcrules) no
|
||
longer results in a "shorewall start" error.</li>
|
||
<li>You may now use port lists in the DEST PORT and SOURCE PORT
|
||
columns of the /etc/shorewall/accounting file.</li>
|
||
<li>The "shorewall show capabilities" command now accurately reports
|
||
the availability of "Packet type match" independent of the setting of
|
||
PKTTYPE in shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
<li>Thanks to Tuomo Soini, all of the files have been siginificantly

|
||
<li>When <network1>!<network2> was specified in the
|
||
SUBNET column of /etc/shorewall/masq, IPSEC policies were not correctly

|
||
working through the interface specified in the INTERFACES column.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> A 'loose' provider option has been added. If you wish to be able
|
||
to use marking to specify the gateway used by connections originating
|
||
on the firewall itself, the specify 'loose' for each provider. It has
|
||
bee reported that 'loose' may break the effect of 'track' so beware if
|
||
you need 'track' functionality (you shouldn't be originating many
|
||
connections from your firewall to the net anyway).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To use 'loose', you also need to add two entries in /etc/shorewall/masq:<br>
|
||
<pre><span style="font-family: monospace;">#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS<br>
|
||
$IF_ISP1 $IP_ISP2 $IP_ISP1<br>
|
||
$IF_ISP2 $IP_ISP1 $IP_ISP2</span>
|
||
</pre>
|
||
where:<br>
|
||
<pre> $IF_ISP1 is the interface to ISP 1.<br>
|
||
$IF_ISP2 is the interface to ISP 2.<br>
|
||
$IP_ISP1 is the IP address of $IF_ISP1<br>
|
||
$IP_ISP2 is the IP address of $IF_ISP2
|
||
</pre>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>/sbin/shorewall now issues a warning each time that it finds that
|
||
startup is disabled.</li>
|
||
<li>A new COPY column has been added to the /etc/shorewall/providers
|
||
file. Normally, when a table name/number is given in the DUPLICATE
|
||
column, the entire table (less default routes) is copied. The COPY
|
||
column allows you to limit the routes copied to those that go through
|
||
an interface listed in COPY. For example, if you enter eth0 in
|
||
INTERFACE, "eth1,eth2" in COPY and 'main' in DUPLICATE then the new
|
||
table created will contain those routes through the interfaces eth0,
|
||
eth1 and eth2.<br>

<h2><a name="20050717"></a><font color="#ff0000">07/17/2005 Security
|
||
vulnerability in MACLIST processing</font></h2>
|
||
<h3>Description</h3>
|
||
<p>A security vulnerability has been discovered which affects all
|
||
supported stable versions of Shorewall. This vulnerability
|
||
enables a client accepted by MAC address filtering to bypass any other
|
||
rule. If MACLIST_TTL is set to a value greater than 0 or
|
||
MACLIST_DISPOSITION is set to "ACCEPT" in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
|
||
(default is MACLIST_TTL=0 and MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT), and a client
|
||
is positively identified through its MAC address, it bypasses all other
|
||
policies/rules in place, thus gaining access to all open services on
|
||
the firewall.</p>
|
||
<h3>Fix</h3>
|
||
<h4>Workaround</h4>
|
||
<p>For Shorewall 2.2.x or 2.4.x, set MACLIST_TTL=0 or
|
||
MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. For
|
||
Shorewall 2.0.x, set MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. MACLIST filtering is of limited
|
||
value on Internet-connected hosts, and the Shorewall team recommends
|
||
this approach to be used if possible.</p>
|
||
<h4>Upgrade</h4>
|
||
<p>For Shorewall 2.4.x, a fixed version of the 'firewall' script is
|
||
available at: <a

|
||
<p>Users of any version before 2.0.17 are urged to upgrade to a
|
||
supported version of Shorewall (preferably 2.4.1) before using the
|
||
fixed files. Only the most recent version of the 2.0.x and 2.2.x
|
||
streams will be supported by the development team, and the 1.x branches
|
||
are no longer maintained at all. Future releases of Shorewall
|
||
will include this fix.</p>

</span><br>
|
||
Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shell variables may now be used in the zones file.</li>
|
||
<li>The /usr/share/shorewall/bogons file has been updated to reflect
|
||
recent IANA allocations.</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall now detects an error where multiple providers specify
|
||
the 'track' option on the same interface.</li>
|
||
<li>The remnants of the GATEWAY column in /etc/shorewall/interfaces
|
||
have been removed. This column appeared briefly in one of the Beta
|
||
versions and was immediately removed but some vestiges remained.</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall now correctly restores a load-balancing default route
|
||
during processing of the 'shorewall restore' and 'shorewall -f start'
|
||
commands. The latter command is normally executed by the Shorewall init
|
||
script during reboot.</li>
|
||
<li>A log level of "None!" is now allowed on builtin actions such as
|
||
ACCEPT and DROP.</li>
|
||
<li>Previously, LIMIT:BURST parameters in /etc/shorewall/policy were
|
||
not correctly applied when the policy was QUEUE.</li>
|
||
<li>The 'chkconfig' command on FC4 and Mandriva previously created
|
||
symbolic links with incorrect names ("S-1shorewall"). The init script
|
||
has been changed to prevent this incorrect behavior.</li>
|
||
<li>DHCP traffic forwarded through a bridge could, under some
|
||
configurations, be filtered by the 'maclist' option even though the
|
||
'dhcp' option was specified. This has been corrected.<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">06/05/2005 Shorewall 2.4.0<br>

Use of this feature requires that your kernel and iptabls support

CONNMARK target and conntrack match support. It does NOT require the

ROUTE target extension.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
WARNING: The current version of iptables (1.3.1) is broken with respect
|
||
to CONNMARK and iptables-save/iptables-restore. This means that if you
|
||
configure multiple ISPs, "shorewall restore" may fail. You must patch
|
||
your iptables using the patch at <a
|
||
href="http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/iptables/CONNMARK.diff">
|
||
http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/iptables/CONNMARK.diff</a>.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall 2.3.0 supports the 'cmd-owner' option of the owner
|
||
match facility in Netfilter. Like all owner match options, 'cmd-owner'
|
||
may only be applied to traffic that originates on the firewall.<br>

To specify a command, prefix the command name with "+".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
+mozilla-bin
|
||
#The program is named "mozilla-bin"</span><br
|
||
style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
joe+mozilla-bin #The
|
||
program is named "mozilla-bin" and</span><br
|
||
style="font-family: monospace;">
|

<span style="font-family: monospace;">

|

<span style="font-family: monospace;">

|
||
style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
#effective group "users".</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that this is not a particularly robust feature and I
|
||
would never advertise it as a "Personal Firewall" equivalent. Using
|
||
symbolic links, it's easy to alias command names to be anything you
|
||
want.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

</li>
|
||
<li>Support has been added for ipsets (see <a
|
||
href="http://people.netfilter.org/kadlec/ipset/">http://people.netfilter.org/kadlec/ipset/</a>).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In most places where a host or network address may be used, you may
|
||
also use the name of an ipset prefaced by "+".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: "+Mirrors"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The name of the set may be optionally followed by:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in square brackets ([]) -- this number
|
||
indicates the maximum number of ipset binding levels that are to be
|
||
matched. Depending on the context where the ipset name is used, either
|
||
all "src" or all "dst" matches will be used.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: "+Mirrors[4]"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) a series of "src" and "dst" options separated by commas and inclosed
|
||
in square brackets ([]). These will be passed directly to iptables in
|
||
the generated --set clause. See the ipset documentation for details.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:
|
||
"+Mirrors[src,dst,src]"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that "+Mirrors[4]" used in the SOURCE column of the rules file is
|
||
equivalent to "+Mirrors[src,src,src,src]".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To generate a negative match, prefix the "+" with "!" as in "!+Mirrors".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example 1: Blacklist all hosts in an ipset named "blacklist"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
/etc/shorewall/blacklist<br>
|
||
<br style="font-family: monospace;">

Shorewall can automatically capture the contents of your ipsets for
|
||
you. If you specify SAVE_IPSETS=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
|
||
then "shorewall save" will save the contents of your ipsets. The file
|
||
where the sets are saved is formed by taking the name where the
|
||
Shorewall configuration is stored and appending "-ipsets". So if you
|
||
enter the command "shorewall save standard" then your Shorewall
|
||
configuration will be saved in var/lib/shorewall/standard and your
|
||
ipset contents will be saved in /var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets.
|
||
Assuming the default RESTOREFILE setting, if you just enter "shorewall
|
||
save" then your Shorewall configuration will be saved in
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/restore and your ipset contents will be saved in
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-ipsets.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Regardless of the setting of SAVE_IPSETS, the "shorewall -f start" and
|
||
"shorewall restore" commands will restore the ipset contents
|
||
corresponding to the Shorewall configuration restored provided that the
|
||
saved Shorewall configuration specified exists.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
For example, "shorewall restore standard" would restore the ipset
|
||
contents from /var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets provided that
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/standard exists and is executable and that
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/standard-ipsets exists and is executable.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Also regardless of the setting of SAVE_IPSETS, the "shorewall forget"
|
||
command will purge the saved ipset information (if any) associated with
|
||
the saved shorewall configuration being removed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
You can also associate ipset contents with Shorewall configuration
|
||
directories using the following command:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -S > <config
|
||
directory>/ipsets<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -S > /etc/shorewall/ipsets<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
When you start or restart Shorewall (including using the 'try' command)
|
||
from the configuration directory, your ipsets will be configured from
|
||
the saved ipsets file. Once again, this behavior is independent of the
|
||
setting of SAVE_IPSETS.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Ipsets are well suited for large blacklists. You can maintain your
|
||
blacklist using the 'ipset' utility without ever having to restart or
|
||
refresh Shorewall. If you use the SAVE_IPSETS=Yes feature just be sure
|
||
to "shorewall save" after altering the blacklist ipset(s).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example /etc/shorewall/blacklist:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
#ADDRESS/SUBNET
|
||

|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
+Blacklistnets[src,dst]</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<br>
|
||
Create the blacklist ipsets using:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -N
|
||
Blacklist iphash<br>
|
||
ipset -N
|
||
Blacklistnets nethash<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Add entries<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177<br>
|
||
ipset -A Blacklistnets
|
||
206.124.146.0/24<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To allow entries for individual ports<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -N SMTP portmap --from 1
|
||
--to 31<br>
|
||
ipset -A SMTP 25<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177<br>
|
||
ipset -B Blacklist 206.124.146.177
|
||
-b SMTP<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Now only port 25 will be blocked from 206.124.146.177.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

</li>
|
||
<li>Shorewall 2.4.0 can now configure routing if your kernel and
|
||
iptables support the ROUTE target extension. This extension is
|
||
available in Patch-O-Matic-ng. This feature is *EXPERIMENTAL* since the
|
||
Netfilter team have no intention of ever releasing the ROUTE target
|
||
extension to kernel.org.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Routing is configured using the /etc/shorewall/routes file. Columns in

|
||
<li>Normally when Shorewall is stopped, starting or restarting then
|
||
connections are allowed from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped to the firewall and to other hosts listed
|
||
in /etc/shorewall/routestopped.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
A new 'source' option is added for entries in that file which will
|
||
cause Shorewall to allow traffic from the host listed in the entry to
|
||
ANY other host. When 'source' is specified in an entry, it is
|
||
unnecessary to also specify 'routeback'.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Similarly, a new 'dest' option is added which will cause Shorewall to
|
||
allow traffic to the host listed in the entry from ANY other host. When
|
||
'source' is specified in an entry, it is unnecessary to also specify
|
||
'routeback'.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>This change was implemented by Lorenzo Martignoni. It provides
|
||
two new commands: "safe-start" and "safe-restart".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">safe-start</span> starts Shorewall
|
||
then prompts you to ask you if everything looks ok. If you answer "no"
|
||
or if you don't answer within 60 seconds, a "shorewall clear" is
|
||
executed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">safe-restart</span> saves your
|
||
current configuration to /var/lib/shorewall/safe-restart then issues a
|
||
"shorewall restart"; It then prompts you to ask if you if you want to
|
||
accept the new configuration. If you answer "no" or if you don't answer
|
||
within 60 seconds, the configuration is restored to its prior state.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
These new commands require either that your /bin/sh supports the "-t"
|
||
option to the 'read' command or that you have /bin/bash installed.<br>

from Shorewall development and support<br>
|
||
</span> <br>
|
||
It is with regret that I announce that my involvement in
|
||
Shorewall development and support is officially ending.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Unlike the originators of other successful open source
|
||
projects, I have not been able to attract a core of people who
|
||
believe in Shorewall and who are willing to make sacrifices to
|
||
ensure it's success. That is my weakness and I accept it. But
|
||
is means that I have been left with trying to develop,
|
||
document, and support Shorewall almost single-handedly. I
|
||
cannot do it any more.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
I will clean up what I have for a 2.3 release and place it on
|
||
the server as my last Shorewall release -- Shorewall 2.4.0.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Discussions aimed at continuing Shorewall development under
|
||
new leadership are continuing.<br>
|
||
<br>

Shorewall will always be a part of my life that I look back on
|
||
with fondness.<br>

<li>Support has been added for UPnP using linux-igd (<a
|
||
href=
|
||
"http://linux-idg.sourceforge.net/">http://linux-idg.sourceforge.net</a>).
|
||
UPnP is required by a number of popular applications
|
||
including MSN IM.</li>

</ol>
|

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">WARNING</span>:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|
||
From a security architecture viewpoint, UPnP is a disaster.
|
||
It assumes that:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
|
||
<li>All local systems and their users are completely
|
||
trustworthy.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>No local system is infected with any worm or
|
||
trojan.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|
||
If either of these assumptions are not true then UPnP can
|
||
be used to totally defeat your firewall and to allow
|
||
incoming connections to arbitrary local systems on any port
|
||
whatsoever.<br>
|
||
In short: <span style="font-weight: bold;">USE UPnP AT
|
||
YOUR OWN RISK</span>.<br>

Building and installing linux-igd is not for the faint of

Shorewall Configuration:<br>
|
||
|
||
|

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|

In /etc/shorewall/interfaces, you need the 'upnp' option on
|

your external interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If your fw->loc policy is not ACCEPT then you need this

allowoutUPnP
|
||
fw loc<br>
|
||
<br>
|

Note: To use 'allowoutUPnP', your iptables and kernel must
|
||
support the 'owner match' feature (see the output of
|
||
"shorewall check").<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If your loc->fw policy is not ACCEPT then you need this

rule:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
allowinUPnP
|

loc fw<br>

</div>
|

|
||
<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
|
||
<li>A new 'started' extension script has been added.
|
||
The difference between this extension script and
|
||
/etc/shorewall/start is that this one is invoked after
|
||
delayed loading of the blacklist (DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=Yes) and
|
||
after the 'shorewall' chain has been created (thus signaling
|
||
that the firewall is completely up.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/started should not change the firewall
|
||
configuration directly but may do so indirectly by running
|
||
/sbin/shorewall with the 'nolock' option.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>By default, shorewall is started with the "-f" (fast)
|
||
option when your system boots. You can override that setting
|
||
by setting the OPTIONS variable in /etc/sysconfig/shorewall
|
||
(SUSE/Redhat) or /etc/default/shorewall (Debian/Bering). If
|
||
neither file exists, feel free to create one or the
|
||
other.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: If you want Shorewall to always use the config
|
||
files even if there is a saved configuration, then
|
||
specify:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
OPTIONS=""<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now has support for the SAME target. This
|
||
change affects the /etc/shorewall/masq and
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
SAME is useful when you specify multiple target IP addresses
|
||
(in the ADDRESSES column of /etc/shorewall/masq or in the
|
||
DEST column of /etc/shorewall/rules).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If you use normal SNAT then multiple connections from a
|
||
given local host to hosts on the internet can be assigned
|
||
different source IP addresses. This confuses some
|
||
applications that use multiple connections. To correct this
|
||
problem, prefix the list of address ranges in the ADDRESS
|
||
column with "SAME:"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
Example: SAME:206.124.146.176-206.124.146.180<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If you want each internal system to use the same IP address
|
||
from the list regardless of which internet host it is talking
|
||
to then prefix the ranges with "SAME:nodst:".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
SAME:nodst:206.124.146.176-206.124.146.180<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that it is not possible to map port numbers when using
|
||
SAME.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the rules file, when multiple connections from an
|
||
internet host match a SAME rule then all of the connections
|
||
will be sent to the same internal server. SAME rules are very
|
||
similar to DNAT rules with the keyword SAME replacing DNAT.
|
||
As in the masq file, changing the port number is not
|
||
supported.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A "shorewall show capabilities" command has been added to
|
||
report the capabilities of your kernel and iptables.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
gateway:~# shorewall show
|
||
capabilities<br>
|
||

|
||
/usr/share/shorewall/functions...<br>

|
||
Processing
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf...<br>
|
||
Loading Modules...<br>
|
||
Shorewall has detected the
|
||
following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
|
||
|
||
NAT: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Packet Mangling: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Multi-port Match: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Extended Multi-port Match: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Packet Type Match: Not available<br>
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

||
Recent Match: Available<br>
|
||
|
||
Owner Match: Available<br>
|
||
gateway:~#<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A "-v" option has been added to /sbin/shorewall.
|
||
Currently, this option only affects the "show log" command
|
||
(e.g., "shorewall -v show log") and the "monitor" command. In
|
||
these commands, it causes the MAC address in the log message
|
||
(if any) to be displayed. As previously, when "-v" is
|
||
omitted, the MAC address is suppressed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In /etc/shorewall/rules, a value of 'none' in either the
|
||
SOURCE or DEST columns now causes the rule to be ignored.
|
||
This is most useful when used with shell variables:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
AllowFTP
|
||
$FTP_CLIENTS fw<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
When FTP_CLIENTS
|
||
is set to 'none', the above rule is ignored. Otherwise,
|
||
the rule is evaluated and generates Netfilter rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The installer now detects that it is running on a
|
||
Slackware system and adjusts the DEST and INIT variables
|
||
accordingly.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||

2.2.3<br>

</span><br>
|
||
Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>If a zone is defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts using
|
||
<interface>:!<network> in the HOSTS column then
|
||
startup errors occur on "shorewall [re]start".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, if "shorewall status" was run on a system
|
||
whose kernel lacked advanced routing support
|
||
(CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER), then no routing
|
||
information was displayed.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A new extension script "continue" has been added. This
|
||
script is invoked after Shorewall has set the built-in filter
|
||
chains policy to DROP, deleted any existing Netfilter rules
|
||
and user chains and has enabled existing connections. It is
|
||
useful for enabling certain communication while Shorewall is
|
||
being [re]started. Be sure to delete any rules that you add
|
||
here in your /etc/shorewall/start file.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>There has been ongoing confusion about how the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped file works. People understand how
|
||
it works with the 'shorewall stop' command but when they read
|
||
that 'shorewall restart' is logically equivalent to
|
||
'shorewall stop' followed by 'shorewall start' then they
|
||
erroneously conclude that /etc/shorewall/routestopped can be
|
||
used to enable new connections during 'shorewall restart'. Up
|
||
to now, it cannot -- that file is not processed during either
|
||
'shorewall start' or 'shorewall restart'.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Beginning with Shorewall version 2.2.3,
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped will be processed TWICE during
|
||
'shorewall start' and during 'shorewall restart'. It will be
|
||
processed early in the command execution to add rules
|
||
allowing new connections while the command is running and it
|
||
will be processed again when the command is complete to
|
||
remove the rules added earlier.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The result of this change will be that during most of
|
||
[re]start, new connections will be allowed in accordance with
|
||
the contents of /etc/shorewall/routestopped.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The performance of configurations with a large numbers of
|
||
entries in /etc/shorewall/maclist can be improved by setting
|
||
the new MACLIST_TTL variable in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If your iptables and kernel support the "Recent Match" (see
|
||
the output of "shorewall check" near the top), you can cache
|
||
the results of a 'maclist' file lookup and thus reduce the
|
||
overhead associated with MAC Verification.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
When a new connection arrives from a 'maclist' interface,
|
||
the packet passes through then list of entries for that
|
||
interface in /etc/shorewall/maclist. If there is a match then
|
||
the source IP address is added to the 'Recent' set for that
|
||
interface. Subsequent connection attempts from that IP
|
||
address occuring within $MACLIST_TTL seconds will be accepted
|
||
without having to scan all of the entries. After $MACLIST_TTL
|
||
from the first accepted connection request from an IP
|
||
address, the next connection request from that IP address
|
||
will be checked against the entire list.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If MACLIST_TTL is not specified or is specified as empty
|
||
(e.g, MACLIST_TTL="" or is specified as zero then 'maclist'
|
||
lookups will not be cached.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>You can now specify QUEUE as a policy and you can
|
||
designate a common action for QUEUE policies in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/actions. This is useful for sending packets to
|
||
something like Snort Inline.<br>

</span> <br>
|
||
Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The SOURCE column in the /etc/shorewall/tcrules file now
|
||
correctly allows IP ranges (assuming that your iptables and
|
||
kernel support ranges).<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If A is a user-defined action and you have file
|
||
/etc/shorewall/A then when that file is invoked by Shorewall
|
||
during [re]start, the $TAG value may be incorrect.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, if an iptables command generating a logging
|
||
rule failed, the Shorewall [re]start was still successful.
|
||
This error is now considered fatal and Shorewall will be
|
||
either restored from the last save (if any) or it will be
|
||
stopped.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The port numbers for UDP and TCP were previously reversed
|
||
in the /usr/share/shorewall/action.AllowPCA file.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, the 'install.sh' script did not update the
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall/action.* files.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, when an interface name appeared in the DEST
|
||
column of /etc/shorewall/tcrules, the name was not validated
|
||
against the set of defined interfaces and bridge ports.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The SOURCE column in the /etc/shorewall/tcrules file now
|
||
allows $FW to be optionally followed by ":" and a
|
||
host/network address or address range.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now clears the output device only if it is a
|
||
terminal. This avoids ugly control sequences being placed in
|
||
files when /sbin/shorewall output is redirected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The output from 'arp -na' has been added to the
|
||
'shorewall status' display.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The 2.6.11 Linux kernel and iptables 1.3.0 now allow port
|
||
ranges to appear in port lists handled by "multiport match".
|
||
If Shorewall detects this capability, it will use "multiport
|
||
match" for port lists containing port ranges. Be cautioned
|
||
that each port range counts for TWO ports and a port list
|
||
handled with "multiport match" can still specify a maximum of
|
||
15 ports.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
As always, if a port list in /etc/shorewall/rules is
|
||
incompatible with "multiport match", a separate iptables rule
|
||
will be generated for each element in the list.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Traditionally, the RETURN target in the 'rfc1918' file
|
||
has caused 'norfc1918' processing to cease for a packet if
|
||
the packet's source IP address matches the rule. Thus, if you
|
||
have:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
SUBNETS
|
||
TARGET</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
192.168.1.0/24 RETURN</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
then traffic from 192.168.1.4 to 10.0.3.9 will be accepted
|
||
even though you also have:<br>

<span style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
10.0.0.0/8
|
||
logdrop</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Setting RFC1918_STRICT=Yes in shorewall.conf will cause such
|
||
traffic to be logged and dropped since while the packet's
|
||
source matches the RETURN rule, the packet's destination
|
||
matches the 'logdrop' rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If not specified or specified as empty (e.g.,
|
||
RFC1918_STRICT="") then RFC1918_STRICT=No is assumed.<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">02/05/2005 End of Support for
|
||
Shorewall 1.4<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</span> Effective today, support for Shorewall 1.4 has been
|
||
discontinued. See the link at the top of this article for
|
||
upgrade information.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">02/01/2005 Shorewall
|
||
2.0.16<br>
|
||
</span> <br>
|
||
This release back-ports the DROPINVALID shorewall.conf option
|
||
from 2.2.0.<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Recent 2.6 kernels include code that evaluates TCP
|
||
packets based on TCP Window analysis. This can cause packets
|
||
that were previously classified as NEW or ESTABLISHED to be
|
||
classified as INVALID.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The new kernel code can be disabled by including this
|
||
command in your /etc/shorewall/init file:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Additional kernel logging about INVALID TCP packets may be
|
||
obtained by adding this command to /etc/shorewall/init:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_log_invalid<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Traditionally, Shorewall has dropped INVALID TCP packets
|
||
early. The new DROPINVALID option allows INVALID packets to
|
||
be passed through the normal rules chains by setting
|
||
DROPINVALID=No.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If not specified or if specified as empty (e.g.,
|
||
DROPINVALID="") then DROPINVALID=Yes is assumed.</li>
|
||

<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">02/01/2005 Shorewall
|
||
2.2.0<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</span> New Features:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>ICMP packets that are in the INVALID state are now
|
||
dropped by the Reject and Drop default actions. They do so
|
||
using the new 'dropInvalid' builtin action. An 'allowInvalid'
|
||
builtin action is also provided which accepts packets in that
|
||
state.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The /etc/shorewall/masq file INTERFACE column now allows
|
||
additional options.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Normally MASQUERADE/SNAT rules are evaluated after
|
||
one-to-one NAT rules defined in the /etc/shorewall/nat file.
|
||
If you preceed the interface name with a plus sign ("+") then
|
||
the rule will be evaluated before one-to-one NAT.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
+eth0<br>
|
||
+eth1:192.0.2.32/27<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Also, the effect of ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes can be negated for
|
||
an entry by following the interface name by ":" but no
|
||
digit.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
eth0:<br>
|
||
eth1::192.0.2.32/27<br>
|
||
+eth3:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Similar to 2), the /etc/shorewall/nat file INTERFACE
|
||
column now allows you to override the setting of
|
||
ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes by following the interface name with ":"
|
||
but no digit.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>All configuration files in the Shorewall distribution
|
||
with the exception of shorewall.conf are now empty. In
|
||
particular, the /etc/shorewall/zones, /etc/shorewall/policy
|
||
and /etc/shorewall/tos files now have no active entries.
|
||
Hopefully this will stop the questions on the support and
|
||
development lists regarding why the default entries are the
|
||
way they are.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, including a log level (and optionally a log
|
||
tag) on a rule that specified a user-defined (or
|
||
Shorewall-defined) action would log all traffic passed to the
|
||
action. Beginning with this release, specifying a log level
|
||
in a rule that specifies a user- or Shorewall-defined action
|
||
will cause each rule in the action to be logged with the
|
||
specified level (and tag).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The extent to which logging of action rules occurs is
|
||
goverend by the following:</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style="list-style: none">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When you invoke an action and specify a log level,
|
||
only those rules in the action that have no log level
|
||
will be changed to log at the level specified at the
|
||
action invocation.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/action.foo:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT -
|
||
- tcp 22<br>
|
||
bar:info<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
foo:debug fw net<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Logging in the invoked 'foo' action will be:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT:debug -
|
||
- tcp 22<br>
|
||
bar:info<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If you follow the log level with "!" then logging
|
||
will be at that level for all rules recursively invoked
|
||
by the action<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: /etc/shorewall/action.foo:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<b>Update:</b> I've been informed by Mandrake
|
||
Development that this problem has been corrected in
|
||
Mandrake 10.0 Final (the problem still exists in the 10.0
|
||
Community release).<br>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|
||
This change has an effect on extension scripts used with
|
||
user-defined actions. If you define an action 'acton' and you
|
||
have an /etc/shorewall/acton script then when that script is
|
||
invoked, the following three variables will be set for use by
|
||
the script:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
|
||
$CHAIN = the name of the chain where your rules are to be
|
||
placed. When logging is used on an action invocation,
|
||
Shorewall creates a chain with a slightly different name
|
||
from the action itself.<br>
|
||
$LEVEL = Log level. If empty, no logging was
|
||
specified.<br>
|
||
$TAG = Log Tag.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

Example:<br>

|

Your /etc/shorewall/acton file will be run with:<br>

|

<li>The /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled file is no longer
|
||
created when Shorewall is first installed. Rather, the
|
||
variable STARTUP_ENABLED is set to 'No' in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. In order to get Shorewall to
|
||
start, that variable's value must be set to 'Yes'. This
|
||
change accomplishes two things:</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style="list-style: none">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>It prevents Shorewall from being started prematurely
|
||
by the user's initialization scripts.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>It causes /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf to be
|
||
modified so that it won't be replaced by upgrades using

RPM.<br>
|

<br>
|

</li>
|

</ul>
|

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support has been added for the 2.6 Kernel IPSEC
|
||
implementation. To use this support, you must have installed
|
||
the IPSEC policy match patch and the four IPSEC/Netfilter
|
||
patches from Patch-0-Matic-ng. The policy match patch affects
|
||
both your kernel and iptables. There are two ways to specify
|
||
that IPSEC is to be used when communicating with a set of
|
||
hosts; both methods involve the new /etc/shorewall/ipsec
|
||
file:</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style="list-style: none">
|
||
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
|
||
<li>If encrypted communication is used with all hosts in
|
||
a zone, then you can designate the zone as an "ipsec"
|
||
zone by placing 'Yes" in the IPSEC ONLY column in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/ipsec:<br>

The hosts in the zone (if any) must be specified in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/hosts but you do not need to specify the

'ipsec' option on the entries in that file (see below).
|

Dynamic zones involving IPSEC must use that

technique.<br>

If you specify Yes or yes in that column then the unencrypted

packets will have their source address changed. Otherwise,

<source address>,<source port> conflicts, it
|

tries to do so within port ranges ( < 512, 512-1023, and

ports to be used by following the address or address range
|

(if any) in the ADDRESS column with ":" and a port range in
|

the format <low-port>-<high-port>. You must

placed in the OUTPUT chain. See the comments at the top of
|
||
/etc/shorewall/accounting for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now verifies that your kernel and iptables have
|
||
physdev match support if BRIDGING=Yes in shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Beginning with this release, if your kernel and iptables
|
||
have iprange match support (see the output from "shorewall
|
||
check"), then with the exception of the /etc/shorewall/netmap
|
||
file, anywhere that a network address may appear an IP
|
||
address range of the form <low address>-<high
|
||
address> may also appear.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support has been added for the iptables CLASSIFY target.
|
||
That target allows you to classify packets for traffic
|
||
shaping directly rather than indirectly through fwmark.
|
||
Simply enter the <major>:<minor> classification
|
||
in the first column of /etc/shorewall/tcrules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">#MARK/
|
||
SOURCE
|
||
DEST
|
||
PROTO PORT(S)</span><br style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">#CLASSIFY</span><br
|
||
style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;">1:30
|
||
-
|
||
eth0
|
||
tcp 25</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that when using this form of rule, it is acceptable to
|
||
include the name of an interface in the DEST column.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Marking using the CLASSIFY target always occurs in the
|
||
POSTROUTING chain of the mangle table and is not affected by
|
||
the setting of MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN in shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>During "shorewall start", IP addresses to be added as a
|
||
consequence of ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes
|
||
are quietly deleted when /etc/shorewall/nat and
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq are processed then they are re-added
|
||
later. This is done to help ensure that the addresses can be
|
||
added with the specified labels but can have the undesirable
|
||
side effect of causing routes to be quietly deleted. A new
|
||
RETAIN_ALIASES option has been added to shorewall.conf; when
|
||
this option is set to Yes, existing addresses will not be
|
||
deleted. Regardless of the setting of RETAIN_ALIASES,
|
||
addresses added during "shorewall start" are still deleted at
|
||
a subsequent "shorewall stop" or "shorewall restart".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Users with a large black list (from
|
||
/etc/shorewall/blacklist) may want to set the new
|
||
DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD option in shorewall.conf. When
|
||
DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=Yes, Shorewall will enable new connections
|
||
before loading the blacklist rules. While this may allow
|
||
connections from blacklisted hosts to slip by during
|
||
construction of the blacklist, it can substantially reduce
|
||
the time that all new connections are disabled during
|
||
"shorewall [re]start".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Using the default LOGFORMAT, chain names longer than 11
|
||
characters (such as in user-defined actions) may result in
|
||
log prefix truncation. A new shorewall.conf action
|
||
LOGTAGONLY has been added to deal with this problem. When
|
||
LOGTAGONLY=Yes, logging rules that specify a log tag will
|
||
substitute the tag for the chain name in the log prefix.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||

||

|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now resets the 'accept_source_route' flag for
|
||
all interfaces. If you wish to accept source routing on an
|
||
interface, you must specify the new 'sourceroute' interface
|
||
option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The default Drop and Reject actions now invoke the new
|
||
standard action 'AllowICMPs'. This new action accepts
|
||
critical ICMP types:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Type 3 code 4 (fragmentation needed)<br>
|
||
Type
|
||
11 (TTL exceeded)<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Explicit control over the kernel's Martian logging is now
|
||
provided using the new 'logmartians' interface option. If you
|
||
include 'logmartians' in the interface option list then
|
||
logging of Martian packets on will be enabled on the
|
||
specified interface. If you wish to globally enable martian
|
||
logging, you can set LOG_MARTIANS=Yes in shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>You may now cause Shorewall to use the '--set-mss' option
|
||
of the TCPMSS target. In other words, you can cause Shorewall
|
||
to set the MSS field of SYN packets passing through the
|
||
firewall to the value you specify. This feature extends the
|
||
existing CLAMPMSS option in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf by
|
||
allowing that option to have a numeric value as well as the
|
||
values "Yes" and "No".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
CLAMPMSS=1400<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now includes support for the ipp2p match
|
||
facility. This is a departure from my usual policy in that
|
||
the ipp2p match facility is included in Patch-O-Matic-NG and
|
||
is unlikely to ever be included in the kernel.org source
|
||
tree. Questions about how to install the patch or how to
|
||
build your kernel and/or iptables should not be posted on the
|
||
Shorewall mailing lists.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the following files, the "PROTO" or "PROTOCOL" column may
|
||
contain "ipp2p":<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules<br>
|
||
|
||
/etc/shorewall/tcrules<br>
|
||
|
||
/etc/shorewall/accounting<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
When the PROTO or PROTOCOL column contains "ipp2p" then the
|
||
DEST PORT(S) or PORT(S) column may contain a recognized ipp2p
|
||
option; for a list of the options and their meaning, at a
|
||
root prompt:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
iptables -m ipp2p --help<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
You must not include the leading "--" on the option;
|
||
Shorewall will supply those characters for you. If you do not
|
||
include an option then "ipp2p" is assumed (Shorewall will
|
||
generate "-m ipp2p --ipp2p").</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now has support for the CONNMARK target from
|
||
iptables. See the /etc/shorewall/tcrules file for
|
||
details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new debugging option LOGALLNEW has been added to
|
||
shorewall.conf. When set to a log level, this option causes
|
||
Shorewall to generaate a logging rule as the first rule in
|
||
each builtin chain.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
- The table name is used as the chain
|
||
name in the log prefix.<br>
|
||
- The chain name is used as the target in
|
||
the log prefix.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: Using the default LOGFORMAT, the log prefix for
|
||
logging from the nat table's PREROUTING chain is:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">Shorewall:nat:PREROUTING</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
IMPORTANT: There is no rate limiting on these logging rules
|
||
so use LOGALLNEW at your own risk; it may cause high CPU and
|
||
disk utilization and you may not be able to control your
|
||
firewall after you enable this option.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DANGER: DO NOT USE THIS OPTION IF THE RESULTING LOG MESSAGES
|
||
WILL BE SENT TO ANOTHER SYSTEM.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The SUBNET column in /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 has been
|
||
renamed SUBNETS and it is now possible to specify a list of
|
||
addresses in that column.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The AllowNNTP action now also allows NNTP over SSL/TLS
|
||
(NNTPS).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>For consistency, the CLIENT PORT(S) column in the tcrules
|
||
file has been renamed SOURCE PORT(S).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The contents of /proc/sys/net/ip4/icmp_echo_ignore_all is
|
||
now shown in the output of "shorewall status".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new IPTABLES option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
||
IPTABLES can be used to designate the iptables executable to
|
||
be used by Shorewall. If not specified, the iptables
|
||
executable determined by the PATH setting is used.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>You can now use the "shorewall show zones" command to
|
||
display the current contents of the zones. This is
|
||
particularly useful if you use dynamic zones
|
||
(DYNAMIC_ZONES=Yes in shorewall.conf).<br>

|

|

<li>Variable expansion may now be used with the INCLUDE
|
||
directive.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/params<br>

"font-family: monospace;">INCLUDE $FILE</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The output of "shorewall status" now includes the results
|
||
of "ip -stat link ls". This helps diagnose performance
|
||
problems caused by link errors.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, when rate-limiting was specified in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/policy (LIMIT:BURST column), any traffic which
|
||
exceeded the specified rate was silently dropped. Now, if a
|
||
log level is given in the entry (LEVEL column) then drops are
|
||
logged at that level at a rate of 5/min with a burst of
|
||
5.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Recent 2.6 kernels include code that evaluates TCP
|
||
packets based on TCP Window analysis. This can cause packets
|
||
that were previously classified as NEW or ESTABLISHED to be
|
||
classified as INVALID.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The new kernel code can be disabled by including this
|
||
command in your /etc/shorewall/init file:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal</span><br>
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
Additional kernel logging about INVALID TCP packets may be
|
||
obtained by adding this command to /etc/shorewall/init:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_log_invalid</span><br>
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
Traditionally, Shorewall has dropped INVALID TCP packets
|
||
early. The new DROPINVALID option allows INVALID packets to
|
||
be passed through the normal rules chains by setting
|
||
DROPINVALID=No.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If not specified or if specified as empty (e.g.,
|
||
DROPINVALID="") then DROPINVALID=Yes is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands now
|
||
accept a list of hosts to add or delete.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4
|
||
eth1:2.3.4.5 z12</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;"> shorewall
|
||
delete eth1:1.2.3.4 eth1:2.3.4.5 z12</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The above commands may also be
|
||
written:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=
|
||
"font-family: monospace;">shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5
|
||
z12</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
|
||
<span style="font-family: monospace;"> shorewall
|
||
delete eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5 z12</span><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>TCP OpenVPN tunnels are now supported using the 'openvpn'
|
||
tunnel type. OpenVPN entries in /etc/shorewall/tunnels have
|
||
this format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style=

||
"font-family: monospace;">openvpn[:{tcp|udp}][:<port>]

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new 'ipsecvpn' script is included in the tarball and in
|
||
the RPM. The RPM installs the file in the Documentation
|
||
directory (/usr/share/doc/packages/shorewall-2.2.0-0RC1).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This script is intended for use on Roadwarrior laptops for
|
||
establishing an IPSEC SA to/from remote networks. The script
|
||
has some limitations:</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<div style="margin-left: 2em">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Only one instance of the script may be used at a
|
||
time.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Only the first SPD accessed will be instantiated at the
|
||
remote gateway. So while the script creates SPDs to/from
|
||
the remote gateway and each network listed in the NETWORKS
|
||
setting at the front of the script, only one of these may
|
||
be used at a time.</li>

New Features:<br>

<ol>
|

<li>
|
||
TCP OpenVPN tunnels are now supported using the 'openvpn'
|
||
tunnel type. OpenVPN entries in /etc/shorewall/tunnels have
|
||
this format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
openvpn[:{tcp|udp}][:<port>]
|
||
<zone>
|
||
<gateway><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
|
||
<pre>
|
||
openvpn:tcp net 1.2.3.4 # TCP tunnel on port 5000<br>
|
||
openvpn:3344 net 1.2.3.4 # UDP on port 3344<br>
|
||
openvpn:tcp:4455 net 1.2.3.4 # TCP on port 4455
|
||
</pre>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new 'ipsecvpn' script is included in the tarball and in
|
||
the RPM. The RPM installs the file in the Documentation
|
||
directory (/usr/share/doc/packages/shorewall-2.2.0-0RC1).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This script is intended for use on Roadwarrior laptops for
|
||
establishing an IPSEC SA to/from remote networks. The script
|
||
has some limitations:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
- Only one instance of the script may be
|
||
used at a time.<br>
|
||
- Only the first SPD accessed will be
|
||
instantiated at the remote gateway. So while the script
|
||
creates SPDs to/from the remote gateway and each network
|
||
listed in the NETWORKS setting at the front of the script,
|
||
only one of these may be used at a time.<br>

</span> Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A typo in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file has been
|
||
corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, the "add" and "delete" commands were
|
||
generating incorrect policy matches when policy match support
|
||
was available.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Recent 2.6 kernels include code that evaluates TCP
|
||
packets based on TCP Window analysis. This can cause packets
|
||
that were previously classified as NEW or ESTABLISHED to be
|
||
classified as INVALID.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The new kernel code can be disabled by including this
|
||
command in your /etc/shorewall/init file:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Additional kernel logging about INVALID TCP packets may be
|
||
obtained by adding this command to /etc/shorewall/init:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
echo 1 >
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_log_invalid<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Traditionally, Shorewall has dropped INVALID TCP packets
|
||
early. The new DROPINVALID option allows INVALID packets to
|
||
be passed through the normal rules chains by setting
|
||
DROPINVALID=No.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If not specified or if specified as empty (e.g.,
|
||
DROPINVALID="") then DROPINVALID=Yes is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands now
|
||
accept a list of hosts to add or delete.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4 eth1:2.3.4.5
|
||
z12<br>
|
||
shorewall delete eth1:1.2.3.4
|
||
eth1:2.3.4.5 z12<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The above commands may also be written:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5
|
||
z12<br>
|
||
shorewall delete eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5
|
||

</span> <br>
|
||
Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands now
|
||
work in a bridged environment. The syntax is:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall add
|
||
<interface>[:<port>]:<address>
|
||
<zone><br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall delete
|
||
<interface>[:<port>]:<address>
|
||
<zone><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall add br0:eth2:192.168.1.3 OK<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall delete br0:eth2:192.168.1.3 OK<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, "shorewall save" created an out-of-sequence
|
||
restore script. The commands saved in the user's
|
||
/etc/shorewall/start script were executed prior to the
|
||
Netfilter configuration being restored. This has been
|
||
corrected so that "shorewall save" now places those commands
|
||
at the end of the script.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To accomplish this change, the "restore base" file
|
||
(/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base) has been split into two
|
||
files:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base -- commands to be executed
|
||
before Netfilter the configuration is restored.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-tail -- commands to be executed
|
||
after the Netfilter configuration is restored.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, traffic from the firewall to a dynamic zone
|
||
member host did not need to match the interface specified
|
||
when the host was added to the zone. For example, if
|
||
eth0:1.2.3.4 is added to dynamic zone Z then traffic out of
|
||
any firewall interface to 1.2.3.4 will obey the fw->Z
|
||
policies and rules. This has been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall uses the temporary chain 'fooX1234' to probe
|
||
iptables for detrmining which features are supported.
|
||
Previously, if that chain happened to exist when Shorewall
|
||
was run, capabilities were mis-detected.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>You can now use the "shorewall show zones" command to
|
||
display the current contents of the zones. This is
|
||
particularly useful if you use dynamic zones
|
||
(DYNAMIC_ZONES=Yes in shorewall.conf).<br>
|
||

|

<li>The output of "shorewall status" now includes the results

problems caused by link errors.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, when rate-limiting was specified in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/policy (LIMIT:BURST column), any traffic which
|
||
exceeded the specified rate was silently dropped. Now, if a
|
||
log<br>
|
||
level is given in the entry (LEVEL column) then drops are
|
||
logged at that level at a rate of 5/min with a burst of
|

5.<br>

|

<ol>
|

<li>The "shorewall check" command results in the (harmless)
|

/usr/share/shorewall/firewall: line 2753:<br>

|

|

<li>A clarification has been added to the hosts file's

description of the 'ipsec' option pointing out that the

been designated an IPSEC zone in the /etc/shorewall/ipsec

<ol>
|

<li>The GATEWAY column was previously ignored in 'pptpserver'

duplicate rule numbers could previously be generated.</li>

<li>The /etc/shorewall/tcrules file now includes a note to
|

the effect that rule evaluation continues after a match.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The error message produced if Shorewall couldn't obtain
|

the routes through an interface named in the SUBNET column of
|

/etc/shorewall/masq was less than helpful since it didn't

|
||
release notes</a>. Highlights include:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The behavior produced by specifying a log level in an
|
||
action invocation is now much more rational. Previously, all
|
||
packets sent to the action were logged; now each rule within
|
||
the invoked action behaves as if logging had been specified
|
||
on it.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the 2.6 Kernel's native IPSEC implementation
|
||
is now available.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for ipp2p is included.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the iptables CONNMARK facility is now
|
||
included in Shorewall.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new LOGALLNEW option facilitates problem analysis.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Users with a large static blacklist can now defer loading
|
||
the blacklist until after the rest of the ruleset has been
|
||
enabled. Doing so can decrease substantially the amount of
|
||
time that connections are disabled during <span style=
|
||
"font-weight: bold;">shorewall [re]start</span>.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the iptables 'iprange match' feature has been
|
||
enabled. Users whose kernel and iptables contain this feature
|
||
can use ip address ranges in most places in their Shorewall
|
||
configuration where a CIDR netowrk can be used.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Accepting of source routing and martian logging may now
|
||
be enabled/disabled on each interface.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now supports the CLASSIFY iptable target.</li>

Problems Corrected:<br>

</p>
|

|

<ol>
|

<li>Previously, an empty PROTO column or a value of "all" in

|

|

<p style="">Friends,</p>
|
||
|
||
<p style="">The demands that my job and my personal life are
|
||
currently placing on me are such that supporing Shorewall to
|
||
the extent that I have been doing is just not possible any
|
||
more.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p style="">I will continue to be active on the development
|
||
list and will continue to develop Shorewall if at all
|
||
possible.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p style="">I will also continue to read the user's list and
|
||
will help with problems that interest me. But I am no longer
|
||
going to hop on every problem as soon as I see it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p style="">This change means that I'm going to have to depend
|
||
on you folks to help each other; I'm confident that we can make
|

this work.</p>

</b> Problems Corrected:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The PKTTYPE option
|
||
introduced in version 2.0.6 is now used when generating
|
||
rules to REJECT packets. Broadcast packets are silently
|
||
dropped rather than being rejected with an ICMP (which is a
|
||
protocol violation) and users whose kernels have broken
|
||
packet type match support are likely to see messages
|
||
reporting this violation. Setting PKTTYPE=No should cause
|
||
these messages to cease.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Multiple interfaces with the
|
||
'blacklist' option no longer result in an error message at
|

startup.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The following has been added to

|
||
<br>
|
||
0.0.0.0
|
||
RETURN<br>

'DISCOVER' broadcasts.</p>

<p>New Features:</p>

|

and new minor releases of a stable release will only

contain bug fixes. Installing a new minor release for the
|
||
major release that you are currently running involves no
|
||
migration issues (for example, if you are running 1.4.10
|

and I release 1.4.11, your current configuration is 100%

compatible with the new release).</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Odd numbered major releases

(e.g., 2.1, 2.3, ...) are <i>Development Releases</i>.
|
||
Development releases are where new functionality is
|
||
introduced. Documentation for new features will be
|
||
available but it may not be up to the standards of the
|
||
stable release documentation. Sites running Development
|
||
Releases should be prepared to play an active role in
|
||
testing new features. Bug fixes and problem resolution for
|
||
the development release take a back seat to support of the
|
||
stable releases. Problem reports for the current
|
||
development release should be sent to the <a href=

|

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When the level of
|
||
functionality of the current development release is judged
|
||
adaquate, the Beta period for a new Stable release will
|
||
begin. Beta releases have identifications of the form
|
||
<i>x.y.0-BetaN</i> where <i>x.y</i> is the number of the
|
||
next Stable Release and <i>N</i>=1,2,3... . Betas are
|
||
expected to occur rougly once per year. Beta releases may
|
||
contain new functionality not present in the previous beta
|
||
release (e.g., 2.2.0-Beta4 may contain functionality not
|
||
present in 2.2.0-Beta3). When I'm confident that the
|
||
current Beta release is stable, I will release the first
|
||
<i>Release Candidate.</i> Release candidates have
|
||
identifications of the form <i>x.y.0-RCn</i> where
|
||
<i>x.y</i> is the number of the next Stable Release and
|
||
<i>n</i>=1,2,3... . Release candidates contain no new
|
||
functionailty -- they only contain bug fixes. When the
|
||
stability of the current release candidate is judged to be
|
||
sufficient then that release candidate will be released as
|
||
the new stable release (e.g., 2.2.0). At that time, the new
|
||
stable release and the prior stable release are those that
|
||
are supported.</p>
|

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">What does it mean for a

||
major release to be <i>supported?</i> It means that I will
|

answer questions about the release and that if a bug is

found, I will fix the bug and include the fix in the next
|
||
minor release.</p>
|
||
</li>
|

|

replaced with the 'dropNotSyn' standard builtin action. The
|

old name can still be used but will generate a warning.</p>

|
||
<p>New Features:</p>
|
||
|

<ol>

<li>
|

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shorewall now supports
|
||
multiple saved configurations.</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The default saved
|
||
configuration (restore script) in /var/lib/shorewall is
|
||
now specified using the RESTOREFILE option in
|
||
shorewall.conf. If this variable isn't set then to
|
||
maintain backward compatibility, 'restore' is
|
||
assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The value of RESTOREFILE must be a simple file name;
|
||
no slashes ("/") may be included.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "save" command has
|
||
been extended to be able to specify the name of a saved
|
||
configuration.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall save [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The current state is saved to
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/<file name>. If no <file
|
||
name> is given, the configuration is saved to the
|
||
file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "restore" command
|
||
has been extended to be able to specify the name of a
|
||
saved configuration:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall restore [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The firewall state is restored from
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/<file name>. If no <file
|
||
name> is given, the firewall state is restored from
|
||
the file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "forget" command has
|
||
changed. Previously, the command unconditionally
|
||
removed the /var/lib/shorewall/save file which records
|
||
the current dynamic blacklist. The "forget" command now
|
||
leaves that file alone.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Also, the "forget" command has been extended to be
|
||
able to specify the name of a saved configuration:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall forget [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The file /var/lib/shorewall/<file name> is
|
||
removed. If no <file name> is given, the file
|
||
determined by the RESTOREFILE setting is removed.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "shorewall -f start"
|

command restores the state from the file determined by
|
||
the RESTOREFILE setting.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Interface names appearing
|
||
within the configuration are now verified. Interface names
|
||
must match the name of an entry in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces (or if bridging is enabled, they
|
||
must match the name of an entry in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces or the name of a bridge port
|
||
appearing in /etc/shorewall/hosts).</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A new 'rejNotSyn' built-in
|
||
standard action has been added. This action responds to
|
||
"New not SYN" packets with an RST.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The 'dropNonSyn' action has been superceded by the new
|
||
'dropNotSyn' action. The old name will be accepted until
|
||
the next major release of Shorewall but will generate a
|
||
warning.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Several new logging actions involving "New not SYN"
|
||
packets have been added:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
logNewNotSyn -- logs the packet with disposition =
|
||
LOG<br>
|
||
dLogNewNotSyn
|
||
-- logs the packet with disposition = DROP<br>
|
||
rLogNewNotSyn
|
||
-- logs the packet with disposition = REJECT<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The packets are logged at the log level specified in the
|
||
LOGNEWNOTSYN option in shorewall.conf. If than option is
|
||
empty or not specified, then 'info' is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>

<li>The /etc/init.d/shorewall script installed on Debian by

processing has been eliminated.</li>
|

|
||
Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0.1 to Shorewall
|
||
2.0.2:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Extension Scripts -- In order for extension scripts to
|
||
work properly with the new iptables-save/restore integration
|
||
(see New Feature 1 below), some change may be required to
|
||
your extension scripts. If your extension scripts are
|
||
executing commands other than iptables then those commands
|
||
must also be written to the restore file (a temporary file in
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall that is renamed
|
||
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base at the end of the
|
||
operation).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The following functions should be of help:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
A. save_command() -- saves the passed command to the restore
|
||
file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
save_command echo
|
||
Operation Complete<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
That command would simply write "echo Operation
|
||
Complete" to the restore file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
B. run_and_save_command() -- saves the passed command to the
|
||
restore file then executes it. The return value is the exit
|
||
status of the command.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
run_and_save_command
|
||
"echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that as in this example, when the
|
||
command involves file redirection then the entire command
|
||
must be enclosed in quotes. This applies to all of the
|
||
functions described here.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
C. ensure_and_save_command() -- runs the passed command. If
|
||
the command fails, the firewall is restored to it's prior
|
||
saved state and the operation is terminated. If the command
|
||
succeeds, the command is written to the restore file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Dynamic Zone support -- If you don't need to use the
|
||
"shorewall add" and "shorewall delete commands, you should
|
||
set DYNAMIC_ZONES=No in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall has now been integrated with
|
||
iptables-save/iptables-restore to provide very fast start and
|
||
restart. The elements of this integration are as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) The 'shorewall save' command now saves the current
|
||
configuration in addition to the current dynamic blacklist.
|
||
If you have dynamic zones, you will want to issue 'shorewall
|
||
save' when the zones are empty or the current contents of the
|
||
zones will be restored by the 'shorewall restore' and
|
||
'shorewall -f start' commands.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) The 'shorewall restore' command has been added. This
|
||
command restores the configuration at the time of the last
|
||
'save'.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
c) The -f (fast) option has been added to 'shorewall start'.
|
||
When specified (e.g. 'shorewall -f start'), shorewall will
|
||
perform a 'shorewall restore' if there is a saved
|
||
configuration. If there is no saved configuration, a normal
|
||
'shorewall start' is performed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
d) The /etc/init.d/shorewall script now translates the
|
||
'start' command into 'shorewall -f start' so that fast
|
||
restart is possible.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
e) When a state-changing command encounters an error and
|
||
there is current saved configuration, that configuration will
|
||
be restored (currently, the firewall is placed in the
|
||
'stopped' state).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
f) If you have previously saved the running configuration
|
||
and want Shorewall to discard it, use the 'shorewall forget'
|
||
command. WARNING: iptables 1.2.9 is broken with respect to
|
||
iptables-save; if your kernel has connection tracking match
|
||
support, you must patch iptables 1.2.9 with the iptables
|
||
patch availale from the Shorewall errata page.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The previous implementation of dynamic zones was
|
||
difficult to maintain. I have changed the code to make
|
||
dynamic zones optional under the control of the DYNAMIC_ZONES
|
||
option in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In earlier Shorewall 2.0 releases, Shorewall searches in
|
||
order the following directories for configuration files.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) The directory specified in a 'try' command or specified
|
||
using the -c option.<br>
|
||
b) /etc/shorewall<br>
|
||
c) /usr/share/shorewall<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In this release, the CONFIG_PATH option is added to
|
||
shorewall.conf. CONFIG_PATH contains a list of directory
|
||
names separated by colons (":"). If not set or set to a null
|
||
value (e.g., CONFIG_PATH="") then
|
||
"CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/usr/share/shorewall" is assumed.
|
||
Now Shorewall searches for shorewall.conf according to the
|
||
old rules and for other configuration files as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) The directory specified in a 'try' command or specified
|
||
using the -c option.<br>
|
||
b) Each directory in $CONFIG_PATH is searched in
|
||
sequence.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In case it is not obvious, your CONFIG_PATH should include
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall and your shorewall.conf file must be in
|
||
the directory specified via -c or in a try command, in
|
||
/etc/shorewall or in /usr/share/shorewall.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
For distribution packagers, the default CONFIG_PATH is set
|
||
in /usr/share/shorewall/configpath. You can customize this
|
||
file to have a default that differs from mine.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, in /etc/shorewall/nat a Yes (or yes) in the
|
||
LOCAL column would only take effect if the ALL INTERFACES
|
||
column also contained Yes or yes. Now, the LOCAL columns
|
||
contents are treated independently of the contents of the ALL
|
||
INTERFACES column.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The folks at Mandrake have created yet another kernel
|
||
module naming convention (module names end in "ko.gz"). As a
|
||
consequence, beginning with this release, if MODULE_SUFFIX
|
||
isn't specified in shorewall.conf, then the default value is
|
||
"o gz ko o.gz ko.gz".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An updated bogons file is included in this release.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In /etc/shorewall/rules and in action files generated
|
||
from /usr/share/shorewall/action.template, rules that perform
|
||
logging can specify an optional "log tag". A log tag is a
|
||
string of alphanumeric characters and is specified by
|
||
following the log level with ":" and the log tag.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT:info:ftp
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 21<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The log tag is appended to the log prefix generated by the
|
||
LOGPREFIX variable in /etc/shorewall/conf. If "ACCEPT:info"
|
||
generates the log prefix "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:" then
|
||
"ACCEPT:info:ftp" will generate "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:ftp
|
||
" (note the trailing blank). The maximum length of a log
|
||
prefix supported by iptables is 29 characters; if a larger
|
||
prefix is generated, Shorewall will issue a warning message
|
||
and will truncate the prefix to 29 characters.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new "-q" option has been added to /sbin/shorewall
|
||
commands. It causes the start, restart, check and refresh
|
||
commands to produce much less output so that warning messages
|
||
are more visible (when testing this change, I discovered a
|
||
bug where a bogus warning message was being generated).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall now uses 'modprobe' to load kernel modules if
|
||
that utility is available in the PATH; otherwise, 'insmod' is
|
||
used.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>It is now possible to restrict entries in the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq file to particular protocols and
|
||
destination port(s). Two new columns (PROTO and PORT(S)) have
|
||
been added to the file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
You want all outgoing SMTP traffic entering the firewall on
|
||
eth1 to be sent from eth0 with source IP address
|
||
206.124.146.177. You want all other outgoing traffic from
|
||
eth1 to be sent from eth0 with source IP address
|
||
206.124.146.176.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
eth0 eth1 206.124.146.177
|
||
tcp 25<br>
|
||
|
||
eth0 eth1
|
||
206.124.146.176<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
THE ORDER OF THE ABOVE TWO RULES IS SIGNIFICANT!!!!!<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Assuming that 10.0.0.0/8 is the only host/network connected
|
||
to eth1, the progress message at "shorewall start" would
|
||
be:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Masqueraded Networks and Hosts:<br>
|
||
To 0.0.0.0/0 (tcp 25)
|
||
from 10.0.0.0/8 through eth0 using 206.124.146.177<br>
|
||
To 0.0.0.0/0 (all) from
|
||
10.0.0.0/8 through eth0 using 206.124.146.176<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Two new actions are available in the /etc/shorewall/rules
|
||
file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT+ -- Behaves like
|
||
ACCEPT with the exception that it exempts matching
|
||
connections from subsequent DNAT[-] and REDIRECT[-]
|
||
rules.<br>
|
||
NONAT --
|
||
Exempts matching connections from subsequent DNAT[-] and
|
||
REDIRECT[-] rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new extension script 'initdone' has been added. This
|
||
script is invoked at the same point as the 'common' script
|
||
was previously and is useful for users who mis-used that
|
||
script under Shorewall 1.x (the script was intended for
|
||
adding rules to the 'common' chain but many users treated it
|
||
as a script for adding rules before Shorewall's).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Installing/Upgrading Shorewall on Slackware has been
|
||
improved. Slackware users must use the tarball and must
|
||
modify settings in the install.sh script before running it as
|
||
follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DEST="/etc/rc.d"<br>
|
||
INIT="rc.firewall"<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Thanks to Alex Wilms for helping with this change.</li>

<p><b>4/17/2004 - Presentation at LinuxFest NW</b><b><br>
|

</b></p>
|
||
Today I gave a presentation at LinuxFest NW in Bellingham. The
|
||
presentation was entitled "<a href=
|
||
"http://lists.shorewall.net/Shorewall_and_the_Enterprise.htm"
|
||
target="_blank">Shorewall and the Enterprise</a>" and described
|
||
the history of Shorewall and gave an overview of its features.
|
||
|
||
<p><b>4/5/2004 - Shorewall 2.0.1</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
Problems Corrected since 2.0.0<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Using actions in the manner recommended in the
|
||
documentation results in a Warning that the rule is a
|
||
policy.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When a zone on a single interface is defined using
|
||
/etc/shorewall/hosts, superfluous rules are generated in the
|
||
<zone>_frwd chain.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Thanks to Sean Mathews, a long-standing problem with
|
||
Proxy ARP and IPSEC has been corrected. Thanks Sean!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The "shorewall show log" and "shorewall logwatch"
|
||
commands incorrectly displayed type 3 ICMP packets.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0.0 to Shorewall
|
||
2.0.1:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The function of 'norfc1918' is now split between that
|
||
option and a new 'nobogons' option.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The rfc1918 file released with Shorewall now contains
|
||
entries for only those three address ranges reserved by RFC
|
||
1918. A 'nobogons' interface option has been added which
|
||
handles bogon source addresses (those which are reserved by
|
||
the IANA, those reserved for DHCP auto-configuration and the
|
||
class C test-net reserved for testing and documentation
|
||
examples). This will allow users to perform RFC 1918
|
||
filtering without having to deal with out of date data from
|
||
IANA. Those who are willing to update their
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall/bogons file regularly can specify the
|
||
'nobogons' option in addition to 'norfc1918'.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The level at which bogon packets are logged is specified in
|
||
the new BOGON_LOG_LEVEL variable in shorewall.conf. If that
|
||
option is not specified or is specified as empty (e.g,
|
||
BOGON_LOG_LEVEL="") then bogon packets whose TARGET is
|
||
'logdrop' in /usr/share/shorewall/bogons are logged at the
|
||
'info' level.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
New Features:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Support for Bridging Firewalls has been added. For
|
||
details, see<br>

|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for NETMAP has been added. NETMAP allows NAT to
|
||
be defined between two network:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
a.b.c.1 -> x.y.z.1<br>
|
||
|
||
a.b.c.2 -> x.y.z.2<br>
|
||
|
||
a.b.c.3 -> x.y.z.3<br>

"http://shorewall.net/netmap.htm">http://shorewall.net/netmap.htm</a><br>
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The /sbin/shorewall program now accepts a "-x" option to
|
||
cause iptables to print out the actual packet and byte counts
|
||
rather than abbreviated counts such as "13MB".<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Commands affected by this are:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall -x show [ <chain>[ <chain> ...] ]<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall -x show tos|mangle<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall -x show nat<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall -x status<br>
|
||
|
||
shorewall -x monitor [ <interval> ]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
Shorewall now traps two common zone definition errors:<br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Including the firewall zone in a /etc/shorewall/hosts
|
||
record.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Defining an interface for a zone in both
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In the second case, the following will appear during
|
||
"shorewall [re]start" or "shorewall check":<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Determining Hosts in Zones...<br>
|
||
...<br>
|
||
Error: Invalid zone
|
||
definition for zone <name of zone><br>
|
||
Terminated<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>To support bridging, the following options have been
|
||
added to entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
norfc1918<br>
|
||
|
||
nobogons<br>
|
||
|
||
blacklist<br>
|
||
|
||
tcpflags<br>
|
||
|
||
nosmurfs<br>
|
||
|
||
newnotsyn<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With the exception of 'newnotsyn', these options are only
|
||
useful when the entry refers to a bridge port.<br>

<p>Issues when migrating from Shorewall 1.4.x to Shorewall
|
||
2.0.0:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The 'dropunclean' and 'logunclean' interface options are
|
||
no longer supported. If either option is specified in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces, an threatening message will be
|
||
generated.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_BEFORE_RULES option has been removed from
|
||
shorewall.conf. The behavior of Shorewall is as if
|
||
NAT_BEFORE_RULES=No had been specified. In other words, DNAT
|
||
rules now always take precidence over one-to-one NAT
|
||
specifications.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The default value for the ALL INTERFACES column in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat has changed. In Shorewall 1.*, if the
|
||
column was left empty, a value of "Yes" was assumed. This has
|
||
been changed so that a value of "No" is now assumed.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The following files don't exist in Shorewall 2.0:<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/common.def<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/common<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/icmpdef<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/action.template (Moved to
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall)<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rfc1918 (Moved to /usr/share/shorewall).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The /etc/shorewall/action file now allows an action to be
|
||
designated as the "common" action for a particular policy
|
||
type by following the action name with ":" and the policy
|
||
(DROP, REJECT or ACCEPT).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The file /usr/share/shorewall/actions.std has been added to
|
||
define those actions that are released as part of Shorewall.
|
||
In that file are two actions as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Drop:DROP<br>
|
||
Reject:REJECT<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The "Drop" action is the common action for DROP policies
|
||
while the "Reject" action is the default action for "REJECT"
|
||
policies. These actions will be performed on packets prior to
|
||
applying the DROP or REJECT policy respectively. In the first
|
||
release, the difference between "Reject" and "Drop" is that
|
||
"Reject" REJECTs SMB traffic while "Drop" silently drops such
|
||
traffic.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
As described above, Shorewall allows a common action for
|
||
ACCEPT policies but does not specify such an action in the
|
||
default configuration.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If for some reason, you don't wish to have a common DROP or
|
||
REJECT action, just include :DROP or :REJECT respectively in
|
||
your /etc/shorewall/actions file.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The file /usr/share/shorewall/actions.std catalogs the
|
||
standard actions and is processed prior to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/actions. This causes a large number of actions
|
||
to be defined. The files which define these aactions are also
|
||
located in /usr/share/shorewall as is the he action template
|
||
file (action.template).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
These actions may be used in the ACTION column of the rules
|
||
column. So for example, to allow FTP from your loc zone to
|
||
your firewall, you would place this rule in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
#ACTION
|
||
SOURCE DEST<br>
|
||
AllowFTP
|
||
loc
|
||
fw<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If you want to redefine any of the Shorewall-defined
|
||
actions, simply copy the appropriate action file from
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall to /etc/shorewall and modify the copy as
|
||
desired. Your modified copy will be used rather than the
|
||
original one in /usr/share/shorewall.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note: The 'dropBcast' and 'dropNonSyn' actions are built
|
||
into Shorewall and may not be changed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Beginning with version 2.0.0-Beta2, Shorewall will only
|
||
create a chain for those actions that are actually used.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The /etc/shorewall directory no longer contains a 'users'
|
||
file or a 'usersets' file. Similar functionality is now
|
||
available using user-defined actions.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Now, action files created by copying
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall/action.template may specify a USER and
|
||
or GROUP name/id in the final column just like in the rules
|
||
file (see below). It is thus possible to create actions that
|
||
control traffic from a list of users and/or groups.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The last column in /etc/shorewall/rules is now labeled
|
||
USER/GROUP and may contain:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
[!]<user number>[:]<br>
|
||
[!]<user name>[:]<br>
|
||
[!]:<group number><br>
|
||
[!]:<group name><br>
|
||
[!]<user number>:<group
|
||
number><br>
|
||
[!]<user number>:<group
|
||
name><br>
|
||
[!]<user name>:<group
|
||
number><br>
|
||
[!]<user name>:<group
|
||
name><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>It is no longer possible to specify rate limiting in the
|
||
ACTION column of /etc/shorewall/rules -- you must use the
|
||
RATE LIMIT column.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Depending on which method you use to upgrade, if you have
|
||
your own version of /etc/shorewall/rfc1918, you may have to
|
||
take special action to restore it after the upgrade. Look for
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rfc1918*, locate the proper file and rename it
|
||
back to /etc/shorewall/rfc1918. The contents of that file
|
||
will supercede the contents of
|
||
/usr/share/shorewall/rfc1918.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p>New Features:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>The INCLUDE directive now allows absolute file
|
||
names.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A 'nosmurfs' interface option has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces. When specified for an interface,
|
||
this option causes smurfs (packets with a broadcast address
|
||
as their source) to be dropped and optionally logged (based
|
||
on the setting of a new SMURF_LOG_LEVEL option in
|
||
shorewall.conf).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>fw->fw traffic may now be controlled by Shorewall.
|
||
There is no need to define the loopback interface in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces; you simply add a fw->fw policy
|
||
and fw->fw rules. If you have neither a fw->fw policy
|
||
nor fw->fw rules, all fw->fw traffic is allowed.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>There is a new PERSISTENT column in the proxyarp file. A
|
||
value of "Yes" in this column means that the route added by
|
||
Shorewall for this host will remain after a "shorewall stop"
|
||
or "shorewall clear".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>"trace" is now a synonym for "debug" in /sbin/shorewall
|
||
commands. So to trace the "start" command, you could
|
||
enter:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
shorewall trace start 2> /tmp/trace<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The trace information would be written to the file
|
||
/tmp/trace.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When defining an ipsec tunnel in /etc/shorewall/tunnels,
|
||
if you follow the tunnel type ("ipsec" or "ipsecnet") with
|
||
":noah" (e.g., "ipsec:noah"), then Shorewall will only create
|
||
rules for ESP (protocol 50) and will not create rules for AH
|
||
(protocol 51).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new DISABLE_IPV6 option has been added to
|
||
shorewall.conf. When this option is set to "Yes", Shorewall
|
||
will set the policy for the IPv6 INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD
|
||
chains to DROP during "shorewall [re]start" and "shorewall
|
||
stop". Regardless of the setting of this variable, "shorewall
|
||
clear" will silently attempt to set these policies to
|
||
ACCEPT.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If this option is not set in your existing shorewall.conf
|
||
then a setting of DISABLE_IPV6=No is assumed in which case,
|
||
Shorewall will not touch any IPv6 settings except during
|
||
"shorewall clear".</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The CONTINUE target is now available in action
|
||
definitions. CONTINUE terminates processing of the current
|
||
action and returns to the point where that action was
|
||
invoked.</li>

||

<li>Distributors and developers seem to be regularly

inventing new naming conventions for kernel modules. To avoid
|

the need to change Shorewall code for each new convention,

the MODULE_SUFFIX option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
||
MODULE_SUFFIX may be set to the suffix for module names in
|

your particular distribution. If MODULE_SUFFIX is not set in
|
||
shorewall.conf, Shorewall will use the list "o gz ko
|
||
o.gz".<br>
|

<br>
|

To see what suffix is used by your distribution:<br>
|
||
<br>
|

ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
All of the files listed should have the same suffix

(extension). Set MODULE_SUFFIX to that suffix.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples:<br>
|
||
<br>

||
If all files end in ".kzo" then set
|

MODULE_SUFFIX="kzo"<br>
|
||
If all files end in ".kz.o" then
|
||
set MODULE_SUFFIX="kz.o"</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for user defined rule ACTIONS has been
|
||
implemented through two new files:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/actions - used to list the user-defined
|
||
ACTIONS.<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/action.template - For each user defined
|
||
<action>, copy this file to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/action.<action> and add the appropriate
|
||
rules for that <action>. Once an <action> has
|
||
been defined, it may be used like any of the builtin ACTIONS
|
||
(ACCEPT, DROP, etc.) in /etc/shorewall/rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example: You want an action that logs a packet at the 'info'
|
||
level and accepts the connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In /etc/shorewall/actions, you would add:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
LogAndAccept<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
You would then copy /etc/shorewall/action.template to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/action.LogAndAccept and in that file, you
|
||
would add the two rules:<br>
|
||
LOG:info<br>
|
||
ACCEPT</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The default value for NEWNOTSYN in shorewall.conf is now
|
||
"Yes" (non-syn TCP packets that are not part of an existing
|
||
connection are filtered according to the rules and policies
|
||
rather than being dropped). I have made this change for two
|
||
reasons:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) NEWNOTSYN=No tends to result in lots of "stuck"
|
||
connections since any timeout during TCP session tear down
|
||
results in the firewall dropping all of the retries.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) The old default of NEWNOTSYN=No and LOGNEWNOTSYN=info
|
||
resulted in lots of confusing messages when a connection got
|
||
"stuck". While I could have changed the default value of
|
||
LOGNEWNOTSYN to suppress logging, I dislike defaults that
|
||
silently throw away packets.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The common.def file now contains an entry that silently
|
||
drops ICMP packets with a null source address. Ad Koster
|
||
reported a case where these were occuring frequently as a
|
||
result of a broken system on his external network.</li>

</b> Problems Corrected since version 1.4.7:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Tuomo Soini has supplied a correction to a problem that
|
||
occurs using some versions of 'ash'. The symptom is that
|
||
"shorewall start" fails with:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
local: --limit: bad variable name<br>
|
||
iptables v1.2.8: Couldn't load match
|
||
`-j':/lib/iptables/libipt_-j.so:<br>
|
||
cannot open shared object file: No such file or
|
||
directory<br>
|
||
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more
|
||
information.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Andres Zhoglo has supplied a correction that avoids
|
||
trying to use the multiport match iptables facility on ICMP
|
||
rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example of rule that previously caused
|
||
"shorewall start" to fail:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT loc $FW
|
||
icmp 0,8,11,12<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, if the following error message was issued,
|
||
Shorewall was left in an inconsistent state.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Error: Unable to determine the routes through
|
||
interface xxx<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Handling of the LOGUNCLEAN option in shorewall.conf has
|
||
been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In Shorewall 1.4.2, an optimization was added. This
|
||
optimization involved creating a chain named
|
||
"<zone>_frwd" for most zones defined using the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/hosts file. It has since been discovered that
|
||
in many cases these new chains contain redundant rules and
|
||
that the "optimization" turns out to be less than optimal.
|
||
The implementation has now been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When the MARK value in a tcrules entry is followed by
|
||
":F" or ":P", the ":F" or ":P" was previously only applied to
|
||
the first Netfilter rule generated by the entry. It is now
|
||
applied to all entries.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An incorrect comment concerning Debian's use of the
|
||
SUBSYSLOCK option has been removed from shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, neither the 'routefilter' interface option
|
||
nor the ROUTE_FILTER parameter were working properly. This
|
||
has been corrected (thanks to Eric Bowles for his analysis
|
||
and patch). The definition of the ROUTE_FILTER option has
|
||
changed however. Previously, ROUTE_FILTER=Yes was documented
|
||
as enabling route filtering on all interfaces (which didn't
|
||
work). Beginning with this release, setting ROUTE_FILTER=Yes
|
||
will enable route filtering of all interfaces brought up
|
||
while Shorewall is started. As a consequence,
|
||
ROUTE_FILTER=Yes can coexist with the use of the
|
||
'routefilter' option in the interfaces file.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If MAC verification was enabled on an interface with a
|
||
/32 address and a broadcast address then an error would occur
|
||
during startup.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NONE policy's intended use is to suppress the
|
||
generating of rules that can't possibly be traversed. This
|
||
means that a policy of NONE is inappropriate where the source
|
||
or destination zone is $FW or "all". Shorewall now generates
|
||
an error message if such a policy is given in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/policy. Previously such a policy caused
|
||
"shorewall start" to fail.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The 'routeback' option was broken for wildcard interfaces
|

New Features:<br>
|

<ol>
|
||
<li>A new QUEUE action has been introduced for rules. QUEUE
|
||
allows you to pass connection requests to a user-space filter
|
||
such as ftwall (http://p2pwall.sourceforge.net). The ftwall
|
||
program allows for effective filtering of p2p applications
|
||
such as Kazaa. For example, to use ftwall to filter P2P
|
||
clients in the 'loc' zone, you would add the following
|
||
rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
QUEUE loc
|
||
net tcp<br>
|
||
QUEUE loc
|
||
net udp<br>
|
||
QUEUE loc
|
||
fw udp<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
You would normally want to place those three rules BEFORE
|
||
any ACCEPT rules for loc->net udp or tcp.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note: When the protocol specified is TCP ("tcp", "TCP" or
|
||
"6"), Shorewall will only pass connection requests (SYN
|
||
packets) to user space. This is for compatibility with
|
||
ftwall.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A BLACKLISTNEWNONLY option has been added to
|
||
shorewall.conf. When this option is set to "Yes", the
|
||
blacklists (dynamic and static) are only consulted for new
|
||
connection requests. When set to "No" (the default if the
|
||
variable is not set), the blacklists are consulted on every
|
||
packet.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Setting this option to "No" allows blacklisting to stop
|
||
existing connections from a newly blacklisted host but is
|
||
more expensive in terms of packet processing time. This is
|
||
especially true if the blacklists contain a large number of
|
||
entries.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Chain names used in the /etc/shorewall/accounting file
|
||
may now begin with a digit ([0-9]) and may contain embedded
|

dashes ("-").</li>

<ol>
|
||
<li>Tuomo Soini has supplied a correction to a problem that
|
||
occurs using some versions of 'ash'. The symptom is that
|
||
"shorewall start" fails with:<br>
|
||
<br>
|

local: --limit: bad variable name<br>

iptables v1.2.8: Couldn't load match

|
||
|
||
<li>Andres Zhoglo has supplied a correction that avoids
|
||
trying to use the multiport match iptables facility on ICMP
|
||
rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example of rule that previously caused
|
||
"shorewall start" to fail:<br>
|

<br>
|

ACCEPT loc $FW
|

icmp 0,8,11,12<br>

|

|

<li>Previously, if the following error message was issued,
|
||
Shorewall was left in an inconsistent state.<br>
|

<br>
|
||
Error: Unable to determine the routes through
|
||
interface xxx<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Handling of the LOGUNCLEAN option in shorewall.conf has
|
||
been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In Shorewall 1.4.2, an optimization was added. This
|
||
optimization involved creating a chain named
|
||
"<zone>_frwd" for most zones defined using the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/hosts file. It has since been discovered that
|
||
in many cases these new chains contain redundant rules and
|
||
that the "optimization" turns out to be less than optimal.
|
||
The implementation has now been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When the MARK value in a tcrules entry is followed by
|
||
":F" or ":P", the ":F" or ":P" was previously only applied to
|
||
the first Netfilter rule generated by the entry. It is now
|
||
applied to all entries.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An incorrect comment concerning Debian's use of the
|
||
SYBSYSLOCK option has been removed from shorewall.conf.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, neither the 'routefilter' interface option
|
||
nor the ROUTE_FILTER parameter were working properly. This
|
||
has been corrected (thanks to Eric Bowles for his analysis
|
||
and patch). The definition of the ROUTE_FILTER option has
|
||
changed however. Previously, ROUTE_FILTER=Yes was documented
|
||
as enabling route filtering on all interfaces (which didn't
|
||
work). Beginning with this release, setting ROUTE_FILTER=Yes
|
||
will enable route filtering of all interfaces brought up
|
||
while Shorewall is started. As a consequence,
|
||
ROUTE_FILTER=Yes can coexist with the use of the
|
||
'routefilter' option in the interfaces file.</li>

configured Shorewall.</li>
|

<li>A change introduced in version 1.4.6 caused error
|

messages during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes
|

and ip addresses were being added to a PPP interface; the
|

addresses were successfully added in spite of the

<li value="7">The 'shorewall reject' and 'shorewall drop'

commands now delete any existing rules for the subject IP
|

address before adding a new DROP or REJECT rule. Previously,
|

there could be many rules for the same IP address in the

dynamic chain so that multiple 'allow' commands were required

to re-enable traffic to/from the address.</li>
|

<li>Shorewall previously choked over IPV6 addresses

"detect" appears in the BROADCAST column of the

/etc/shorewall/interfaces file).</li>
|

<li>Shorewall will now load module files that are formed from

the module name by appending ".o.gz".</li>
|

<li>When Shorewall adds a route to a proxy ARP host and such
|

a route already exists, two routes resulted previously. This

it already exists.</li>

<li>Previously, if neither /etc/shorewall/common nor

the lock file resulted in the following during subsequent

be a viable part of Shorewall.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to
|
||
add specific support for all of it. I have therefore decided
|
||
to add "generic" tunnel support.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other
|
||
tunnel types. You usually add a zone to represent the systems
|
||
at the other end of the tunnel and you add the appropriate
|
||
rules/policies to<br>
|
||
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from
|
||
those systems.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of
|
||
the form:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
generic:<protocol>[:<port>]
|
||
<zone> <ip address>
|
||
<gateway zones><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where:<br>

<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be
|
||
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
|
||
'who-has' requests from hosts that are routed out through
|
||
that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing of
|
||
your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
|
||
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to
|
||
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified).
|
||
Note that using such a configuration in a production
|
||
environment is strongly recommended against.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include
|
||
a comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges.
|
||
Netfilter will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin
|
||
fashion. \</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An /etc/shorewall/accounting file has been added to allow
|
||
for traffic accounting. See the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">accounting documentation</a> for a
|
||
description of this facility.</li>
|
||
|

<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules may now be rate-limited. For DNAT and
|
||
REDIRECT rules, rate limiting occurs in the nat table DNAT
|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|
||
rule which can be rate-limited separately.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning:</span> When rate
|
||
limiting is specified on a rule with "all" in the SOURCE or
|
||
DEST fields, the limit will apply to each pair of zones
|
||
individually rather than as a single limit for all pairs of
|
||
covered by the rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To specify a rate limit,<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) Follow ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] or LOG with<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>] ><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<rate> is the sustained
|
||
rate per <interval><br>
|
||
<interval> is "sec" or
|
||
"min"<br>
|
||
<burst> is the largest
|
||
burst accepted within an <interval>. If not given, the
|
||
default of 5 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"
|
||
nor there may be any white space within the burst
|
||
specification. If you want to specify logging of a
|
||
rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level comes after the
|
||
">" (e.g., ACCEPT<2/sec:4>:info ).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) A new RATE LIMIT column has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. You may specify the rate limit
|
||
there in the format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|
||
show" command (e.g., shorewall show INPUT FORWARD
|
||
OUTPUT).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be
|
||
limited to a set of local users and/or groups. See <a href=

<ol>
|

<li>Corrected problem in 1.4.6 where the MANGLE_ENABLED
|

variable was being tested before it was set.</li>
|
||
|

an invalid iptables command.</li>
|

<li>The "shorewall stop" command is now disabled when

/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people

configured Shorewall.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A change introduced in version 1.4.6 caused error
|
||
messages during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes
|
||
and ip addresses were being added to a PPP interface; the
|

addresses were successfully added in spite of the

commands now delete any existing rules for the subject IP
|
||
address before adding a new DROP or REJECT rule. Previously,
|
||
there could be many rules for the same IP address in the
|
||
dynamic chain so that multiple 'allow' commands were required
|
||
to re-enable traffic to/from the address.</li>
|
||
|

<li>When ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in shorewall.conf, the

</li>
|

<li>Shorewall previously choked over IPV6 addresses

"detect" appears in the BROADCAST column of the

<li>When Shorewall adds a route to a proxy ARP host and such
|

a route already exists, two routes resulted previously. This

<b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall IP Traffic Accounting has changed since
|
||
snapshot 20030813 -- see the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">Accounting Page</a> for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The Uset Set capability introduced in SnapShot 20030821
|
||
has changed -- see the <a href="UserSets.html">User Set
|
||
page</a> for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The per-interface Dynamic Blacklisting facility
|
||
introduced in the first post-1.4.6 Snapshot has been removed.
|
||
The facility had too many idiosyncrasies for dial-up users to
|
||
be a viable part of Shorewall.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to
|
||
add specific support for all of it. I have therefore decided
|
||
to add "generic" tunnel support.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other
|
||
tunnel types. You usually add a zone to represent the systems
|
||
at the other end of the tunnel and you add the appropriate
|
||
rules/policies to<br>
|
||
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from
|
||
those systems.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of
|
||
the form:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
generic:<protocol>[:<port>]
|
||
<zone> <ip address>
|
||
<gateway zones><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<protocol> is the
|
||
protocol used by the tunnel<br>
|
||
<port> if
|
||
the protocol is 'udp' or 'tcp' then this is the destination
|
||
port number used by the tunnel.<br>
|
||
<zone> is
|
||
the zone of the remote tunnel gateway<br>
|
||
<ip address> is
|
||
the IP address of the remote tunnel gateway.<br>
|
||
<gateway
|
||
zone> Optional. A comma-separated list of zone
|
||
names. If specified, the remote gateway is to be considered
|
||
part of these zones.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be
|
||
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
|
||
'who-has' requests from hosts that are routed out through
|
||
that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing of
|
||
your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
|
||
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to
|
||
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified).
|
||
Note that using such a configuration in a production
|
||
environment is strongly recommended against.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include
|
||
a comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges.
|
||
Netfilter will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin
|
||
fashion. \</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An /etc/shorewall/accounting file has been added to allow
|
||
for traffic accounting. See the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">accounting documentation</a> for a
|
||
description of this facility.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules may now be rate-limited. For DNAT and
|
||
REDIRECT rules, rate limiting occurs in the nat table DNAT
|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|
||
rule which can be rate-limited separately.<br>

<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning:</span> When rate
|
||
limiting is specified on a rule with "all" in the SOURCE or
|

individually rather than as a single limit for all pairs of
|
||
covered by the rule.<br>

<br>
|

a) Follow ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] or LOG with<br>

<

<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>] ><br>
|

<br>
|

where<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<rate> is the sustained
|
||
rate per <interval><br>
|
||
<interval> is "sec" or
|
||
"min"<br>
|
||
<burst> is the largest
|
||
burst accepted within an <interval>. If not given, the
|
||
default of 5 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"
|
||
nor there may be any white space within the burst
|
||
specification. If you want to specify logging of a
|
||
rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level comes after the
|
||
">" (e.g., ACCEPT<2/sec:4>:info ).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) A new RATE LIMIT column has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. You may specify the rate limit
|
||
there in the format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||

|

<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|

OUTPUT).</li>
|

<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be

<li value="7">The 'shorewall reject' and 'shorewall drop'

commands now delete any existing rules for the subject IP

there could be many rules for the same IP address in the

<b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall IP Traffic Accounting has changed since
|
||
snapshot 20030813 -- see the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">Accounting Page</a> for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The Uset Set capability introduced in SnapShot 20030821
|
||
has changed -- see the <a href="UserSets.html">User Set
|
||
page</a> for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The per-interface Dynamic Blacklisting facility
|
||
introduced in the first post-1.4.6 Snapshot has been removed.
|
||
The facility had too many idiosyncrasies for dial-up users to
|
||
be a viable part of Shorewall.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to
|
||
add specific support for all of it. I have therefore decided
|
||
to add "generic" tunnel support.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other
|
||
tunnel types. You usually add a zone to represent the systems
|
||
at the other end of the tunnel and you add the appropriate
|
||
rules/policies to<br>
|
||
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from
|
||
those systems.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of
|
||
the form:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
generic:<protocol>[:<port>]
|
||
<zone> <ip address>
|
||
<gateway zones><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<protocol> is the
|
||
protocol used by the tunnel<br>
|
||
<port> if
|
||
the protocol is 'udp' or 'tcp' then this is the destination
|
||
port number used by the tunnel.<br>
|
||
<zone> is
|
||
the zone of the remote tunnel gateway<br>
|
||
<ip address> is
|
||
the IP address of the remote tunnel gateway.<br>
|
||
<gateway
|
||
zone> Optional. A comma-separated list of zone
|
||
names. If specified, the remote gateway is to be considered
|
||
part of these zones.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be
|
||
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
|
||
'who-has' requests from hosts that are routed out through
|
||
that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing of
|
||
your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
|
||
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to
|
||
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified).
|
||
Note that using such a configuration in a production
|
||
environment is strongly recommended against.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include
|
||
a comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges.
|
||
Netfilter will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin
|
||
fashion. \</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An /etc/shorewall/accounting file has been added to allow
|
||
for traffic accounting. See the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">accounting documentation</a> for a
|
||
description of this facility.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules may now be rate-limited. For DNAT and
|
||
REDIRECT rules, rate limiting occurs in the nat table DNAT
|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|
||
rule which can be rate-limited separately.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning:</span> When rate
|
||
limiting is specified on a rule with "all" in the SOURCE or
|
||
DEST fields, the limit will apply to each pair of zones
|
||
individually rather than as a single limit for all pairs of
|
||
covered by the rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To specify a rate limit,<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) Follow ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] or LOG with<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>] ><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<rate> is the sustained
|
||
rate per <interval><br>
|
||
<interval> is "sec" or
|
||
"min"<br>
|
||
<burst> is the largest
|
||
burst accepted within an <interval>. If not given, the
|
||
default of 5 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"
|
||
nor there may be any white space within the burst
|
||
specification. If you want to specify logging of a
|
||
rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level comes after the
|
||
">" (e.g., ACCEPT<2/sec:4>:info ).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) A new RATE LIMIT column has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. You may specify the rate limit
|
||
there in the format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|
||
show" command (e.g., shorewall show INPUT FORWARD
|
||
OUTPUT).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be
|
||
limited to a set of local users and/or groups. See <a href=
|
||
"UserSets.html">http://shorewall.net/UserSets.html</a> for
|
||
details.</li>

|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|
||
show" command (e.g., shorewall show INPUT FORWARD
|
||
OUTPUT).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be

limited to a set of local users and/or groups. See <a href=

<b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|

|
||

<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall IP Traffic Accounting has changed since

snapshot 20030813 -- see the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">Accounting Page</a> for details.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The Uset Set capability introduced in SnapShot 20030821
|

has changed -- see the <a href="UserSets.html">User Set

|
||
|
||
<li>The per-interface Dynamic Blacklisting facility
|
||
introduced in the first post-1.4.6 Snapshot has been removed.
|
||
The facility had too many idiosyncrasies for dial-up users to
|
||
be a viable part of Shorewall.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to
|
||
add specific support for all of it. I have therefore decided
|
||
to add "generic" tunnel support.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other
|
||
tunnel types. You usually add a zone to represent the systems
|
||
at the other end of the tunnel and you add the appropriate
|
||
rules/policies to<br>
|
||
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from
|
||
those systems.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of
|
||
the form:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
generic:<protocol>[:<port>]
|
||
<zone> <ip address>
|
||
<gateway zones><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<protocol> is the
|
||
protocol used by the tunnel<br>
|
||
<port> if
|
||
the protocol is 'udp' or 'tcp' then this is the destination
|
||
port number used by the tunnel.<br>
|
||
<zone> is
|
||
the zone of the remote tunnel gateway<br>
|
||
<ip address> is
|
||
the IP address of the remote tunnel gateway.<br>
|
||
<gateway
|
||
zone> Optional. A comma-separated list of zone
|
||
names. If specified, the remote gateway is to be considered
|
||
part of these zones.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be
|
||
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
|
||
'who-has' requests from hosts that are routed out through
|
||
that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing of
|
||
your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
|
||
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to
|
||
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified).
|
||
Note that using such a configuration in a production
|
||
environment is strongly recommended against.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include
|
||
a comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges.
|
||
Netfilter will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin
|
||
fashion. \</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An /etc/shorewall/accounting file has been added to allow
|
||
for traffic accounting. See the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">accounting documentation</a> for a
|
||
description of this facility.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules may now be rate-limited. For DNAT and
|
||
REDIRECT rules, rate limiting occurs in the nat table DNAT
|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|
||
rule which can be rate-limited separately.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning:</span> When rate
|
||
limiting is specified on a rule with "all" in the SOURCE or
|
||
DEST fields, the limit will apply to each pair of zones
|
||
individually rather than as a single limit for all pairs of
|
||
covered by the rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To specify a rate limit,<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) Follow ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] or LOG with<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>] ><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<rate> is the sustained
|
||
rate per <interval><br>
|
||
<interval> is "sec" or
|
||
"min"<br>
|
||
<burst> is the largest
|
||
burst accepted within an <interval>. If not given, the
|
||
default of 5 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"
|
||
nor there may be any white space within the burst
|
||
specification. If you want to specify logging of a
|
||
rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level comes after the
|
||
">" (e.g., ACCEPT<2/sec:4>:info ).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) A new RATE LIMIT column has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. You may specify the rate limit
|
||
there in the format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|
||
show" command (e.g., shorewall show INPUT FORWARD
|
||
OUTPUT).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be
|
||
limited to a set of local users and/or groups. See <a href=

<ol>
|

<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for

each interface defined in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. The
|
||
'drop' and 'reject' commands use the routing table to
|
||
determine which of these chains is to be used for
|
||
blacklisting the specified IP address(es).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been
|
||
introduced that do what 'drop' and 'reject' used to do;
|
||
namely, when an address is blacklisted using these new
|
||
commands, it will be blacklisted on all of your firewall's
|
||
interfaces.</li>
|
||
|

<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give

|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|

rule which can be rate-limited separately.<br>
|

<br>
|

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning:</span> When rate

limiting is specified on a rule with "all" in the SOURCE or
|

DEST fields, the limit will apply to each pair of zones
|

individually rather than as a single limit for all pairs of
|
||
covered by the rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
To specify a rate limit,<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) Follow ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] or LOG with<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>] ><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<rate> is the sustained
|
||
rate per <interval><br>
|
||
<interval> is "sec" or
|
||
"min"<br>
|
||
<burst> is the largest
|
||
burst accepted within an <interval>. If not given, the
|
||
default of 5 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"
|
||
nor there may be any white space within the burst
|
||
specification. If you want to specify logging of a
|
||
rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level comes after the
|
||
">" (e.g., ACCEPT<2/sec:4>:info ).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
b) A new RATE LIMIT column has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. You may specify the rate limit
|
||
there in the format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
<rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Let's take an example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
ACCEPT<2/sec:4>
|
||
net dmz
|
||
tcp 80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The first time this rule is reached, the packet will be
|
||
accepted; in fact, since the burst is 4, the first four
|
||
packets will be accepted. After this, it will be 500ms (1
|
||
second divided by the rate<br>
|
||
of 2) before a packet will be accepted from this rule,
|
||
regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms
|
||
which passes without matching a packet, one of the bursts
|
||
will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second,
|
||
the burst will be fully recharged; back where we started.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Multiple chains may now be displayed in one "shorewall
|
||
show" command (e.g., shorewall show INPUT FORWARD
|
||
OUTPUT).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Output rules (those with $FW as the SOURCE) may now be
|
||
limited to a set of local users and/or groups. See <a href=

<b>Problems Corrected since version 1.4.6</b><br>
|

|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Corrected problem in 1.4.6 where the MANGLE_ENABLED
|
||
variable was being tested before it was set.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Corrected handling of MAC addresses in the SOURCE column
|

of the tcrules file. Previously, these addresses resulted in
|
||
an invalid iptables command.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The "shorewall stop" command is now disabled when

/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people
|
||
from shooting themselves in the foot prior to having
|
||
configured Shorewall.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A change introduced in version 1.4.6 caused error
|
||
messages during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes
|
||
and ip addresses were being added to a PPP interface; the
|
||
addresses were successfully added in spite of the
|
||
messages.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
The firewall script has been modified to eliminate the error
|
||
messages</li>
|
||
|
||
<li> Interface-specific dynamic blacklisting chains are
|
||
now displayed by "shorewall monitor" on the "Dynamic Chains"
|
||
page (previously named "Dynamic Chain").<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|

</ol>
|
||
<b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Once you have installed this version of Shorewall, you
|
||
must restart Shorewall before you may use the 'drop',
|
||
'reject', 'allow' or 'save' commands.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>To maintain strict compatibility with previous versions,
|
||
current uses of "shorewall drop" and "shorewall reject"
|
||
should be replaced with "shorewall dropall" and "shorewall
|
||
rejectall"</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for
|
||
each interface defined in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. The
|
||
'drop' and 'reject' commands use the routing table to
|
||
determine which of these chains is to be used for
|
||
blacklisting the specified IP address(es).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been
|
||
introduced that do what 'drop' and 'reject' used to do;
|
||
namely, when an address is blacklisted using these new
|
||
commands, it will be blacklisted on all of your firewall's
|
||
interfaces.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to
|
||
add specific support for all of it. I have therefore decided
|
||
to add "generic" tunnel support.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other
|
||
tunnel types. You usually add a zone to represent the systems
|
||
at the other end of the tunnel and you add the appropriate
|
||
rules/policies to<br>
|
||
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from
|
||
those systems.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of
|
||
the form:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
generic:<protocol>[:<port>]
|
||
<zone> <ip address>
|
||
<gateway zones><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
where:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<protocol> is the
|
||
protocol used by the tunnel<br>
|
||
<port> if
|
||
the protocol is 'udp' or 'tcp' then this is the destination
|
||
port number used by the tunnel.<br>
|
||
<zone> is
|
||
the zone of the remote tunnel gateway<br>
|
||
<ip address> is
|
||
the IP address of the remote tunnel gateway.<br>
|
||
<gateway
|
||
zone> Optional. A comma-separated list of zone
|
||
names. If specified, the remote gateway is to be considered
|
||
part of these zones.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
||
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be
|
||
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
|
||
'who-has' requests from hosts that are routed out through
|
||
that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing of
|
||
your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
|
||
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to
|
||
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified).
|
||
Note that using such a configuration in a production
|
||
environment is strongly recommended against.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include
|
||
a comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges.
|
||
Netfilter will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin
|
||
fashion. \</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An /etc/shorewall/accounting file has been added to allow
|
||
for traffic accounting. See the <a href=
|
||
"Accounting.html">accounting documentation</a> for a
|
||
description of this facility.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules may now be rate-limited. For DNAT and
|
||
REDIRECT rules, rate limiting occurs in the nat table DNAT
|
||
rule; the corresponding ACCEPT rule in the filter table is
|
||
not rate limited. If you want to limit the filter table rule,
|
||
you will need o create two rules; a DNAT- rule and an ACCEPT
|

There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<"

<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for
|
||
each interface defined in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. The
|
||
'drop' and 'reject' commands use the routing table to
|
||
determine which of these chains is to be used for
|
||
blacklisting the specified IP address(es).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been
|
||
introduced that do what 'drop' and 'reject' used to do;
|
||
namely, when an address is blacklisted using these new
|
||
commands, it will be blacklisted on all of your firewall's
|
||
interfaces.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
||
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help
|
||
<command>).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default
|
||
value of "No" for existing users which causes Shorewall's
|
||
'stopped' state to continue as it has been; namely, in
|
||
the stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs),
|
||
in addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) All traffic originating from the firewall
|
||
itself; and<br>
|
||
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
||
already-existing connection.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a
|
||
"shorewall stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill
|
||
the session.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it
|
||
is still possible for people to shoot themselves in the
|
||
foot.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
206.124.146.178
|
||
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
ACCEPT loc
|
||
fw tcp
|
||
22<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which
|
||
establishes an SSH connection with local system 192.168.1.5.
|
||
I then create a second SSH connection from that computer to
|
||
the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop". As part
|
||
of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills
|
||
my SSH connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>

|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column
|
||
of a DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple
|
||
DNAT rules in the nat table (one for each element in the
|

list). Shorewall now correctly creates a single DNAT rule

eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>

1.4.6 to allow entries of the following format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
z
|
||
eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options

<p><b>New Features:</b><br>

|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This
|
||
option may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and
|
||
overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on
|
||
the associated interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq to use for SNAT is now documented.
|
||
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for address ranges.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than
|
||
the first one on an interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance
|
||
(round-robin) over a set of servers. Servers may be specified
|
||
in a range of addresses given as <first
|
||
address>-<last address>.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

|
||
80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT
|
||
configuration options have been removed and have been
|
||
replaced by code that detects whether these capabilities are
|
||
present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
|
||
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the
|
||
outcome:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter
|
||
capabilities:<br>
|
||
NAT: Available<br>
|
||
Packet Mangling: Available<br>
|
||
Multi-port Match: Available<br>
|
||
Verifying Configuration...<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has
|
||
been added. This extension is available in recent
|
||
kernel/iptables releases and allows for rules which match
|
||
against elements in netfilter's connection tracking table.
|
||
Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
|
||
extension and reports its availability in the output of the
|
||
start, restart and check commands.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter
|
||
capabilities:<br>
|

|
||
Multi-port Match: Available<br>
|
||
Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
|
||

|
||
<br>
|
||
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by
|
||
Shorewall is changed in the following ways:</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style=
|
||
"list-style-type: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: none;">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not
|
||
create chains in the mangle table but will rather do all
|
||
'norfc1918' filtering in the filter table (rfc1918
|
||
chain).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two
|
||
netfilter rules; one in the nat table and one in the
|
||
filter table. If the Connection Tracking Match Extension
|
||
is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
|
||
check that the original destination address was the same
|
||
as specified (or defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>

||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script
|

(/usr/share/shorewall/firewall) may now be specified using
|
||
the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|

<br>
|
||
Warning:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or
|
||
dash), then the ipcalc command produces incorrect information
|
||
for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1 and for /1 networks. Bash should
|
||
produce correct information for all valid IP addresses.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to
|
||
/sbin/shorewall.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
iprange
|
||
<address>-<address><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list
|
||
of network and host addresses. The command can be useful if
|
||
you need to construct an efficient set of rules that accept
|
||
connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic
|
||
(ash or dash) then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|

<p><b>7/15/2003 - New Mirror in Brazil</b><b><br>

</b></p>
|

Thanks to the folks at securityopensource.org.br, there is now
|
||
a <a href="http://shorewall.securityopensource.org.br" target=
|
||
"_top">Shorewall mirror in Brazil</a>.
|
||
|
||
<p><b>7/15/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.6 RC 1</b> <b><br>
|
||
</b></p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall
|
||
encountered start errors when started using the "service"
|
||
mechanism has been worked around.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column
|
||
of a DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple
|
||
DNAT rules in the nat table (one for each element in the
|
||
list). Shorewall now correctly creates a single DNAT rule
|
||
with multiple "--to-destination" clauses.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Corrected a problem in Beta 1 where DNS names containing
|
||
a "-" were mis-handled when they appeared in the DEST column
|
||
of a rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A number of problems with rule parsing have been
|
||
corrected. Corrections involve the handling of "z1!z2" in the
|
||
SOURCE column as well as lists in the ORIGINAL DESTINATION
|
||
column.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed
|
||
entries in the host file as follows:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
z
|
||
eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This capability was never documented and has been removed in
|
||
1.4.6 to allow entries of the following format:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
z
|
||
eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options
|
||
have been removed from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These
|
||
capabilities are now automatically detected by Shorewall (see
|
||
below).<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This
|
||
option may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and
|
||
overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on
|
||
the associated interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq to use for SNAT is now documented.
|
||
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for address ranges.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than
|
||
the first one on an interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance
|
||
(round-robin) over a set of servers. Servers may be specified
|
||
in a range of addresses given as <first
|
||
address>-<last address>.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp
|
||
80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT
|
||
configuration options have been removed and have been
|
||
replaced by code that detects whether these capabilities are
|
||
present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
|
||
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the
|
||
outcome:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter
|
||
capabilities:<br>
|
||
NAT: Available<br>

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has
|
||
been added. This extension is available in recent
|
||
kernel/iptables releases and allows for rules which match
|
||
against elements in netfilter's connection tracking table.
|
||
Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
|
||
extension and reports its availability in the output of the
|
||
start, restart and check commands.<br>

<li style=
|

"list-style-type: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: none;">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not
|
||
create chains in the mangle table but will rather do all
|
||
'norfc1918' filtering in the filter table (rfc1918
|
||
chain).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two
|
||
netfilter rules; one in the nat table and one in the
|
||
filter table. If the Connection Tracking Match Extension
|
||
is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
|
||
check that the original destination address was the same
|
||
as specified (or defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script
|

(/usr/share/shorewall/firewall) may now be specified using
|
||
the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

</li>
|
||
|

Warning:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or
|
||
dash), then the ipcalc command produces incorrect information
|
||
for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1 and for /1 networks. Bash should

<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to

/sbin/shorewall.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
iprange
|
||
<address>-<address><br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list
|
||
of network and host addresses. The command can be useful if
|
||
you need to construct an efficient set of rules that accept
|
||
connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
|

<br>
|

<p><b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall
|
||
encountered start errors when started using the "service"
|
||
mechanism has been worked around.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column
|
||
of a DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple
|
||
DNAT rules in the nat table (one for each element in the
|
||
list). Shorewall now correctly creates a single DNAT rule
|
||
with multiple "--to-destination" clauses.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This
|
||
option may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and
|
||
overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on
|
||
the associated interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq to use for SNAT is now documented.
|
||
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for address ranges.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than
|
||
the first one on an interface.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance
|
||
(round-robin) over a set of servers. Up to 256 servers may be
|
||
specified in a range of addresses given as <first
|
||
address>-<last address>.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp
|
||
80<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Note that this capability has previously been available
|
||
using a combination of a DNAT- rule and one or more ACCEPT
|
||
rules. That technique is still preferable for load-balancing
|
||
over a large number of servers (> 16) since specifying a
|
||
range in the DNAT rule causes one filter table ACCEPT rule to
|
||
be generated for each IP address in the range.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT
|
||
configuration options have been removed and have been
|
||
replaced by code that detects whether these capabilities are
|
||
present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
|
||
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the
|
||
outcome:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter
|
||
capabilities:<br>
|
||
NAT: Available<br>
|
||
Packet Mangling: Available<br>

Multi-port Match: Available<br>
|

|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has
|
||
been added. This extension is available in recent
|
||
kernel/iptables releases and allows for rules which match
|
||
against elements in netfilter's connection tracking table.
|
||
Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
|
||
extension and reports its availability in the output of the
|
||
start, restart and check commands.<br>
|
||
<br>
|

Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter

|
||
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by
|
||
Shorewall is changed in the following ways:</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style=
|
||
"list-style-type: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: none;">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not
|
||
create chains in the mangle table but will rather do all
|
||
'norfc1918' filtering in the filter table (rfc1918
|
||
chain).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two
|
||
netfilter rules; one in the nat table and one in the
|
||
filter table. If the Connection Tracking Match Extension
|
||
is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
|
||
check that the original destination address was the same
|
||
as specified (or defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>

<p>The firewall at shorewall.net has been upgraded to the

<p>Groan -- This version corrects a problem whereby the

commonly reported symptom was that Shorewall messages were

<p><b>5/27/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.4a</b></p>
|
||
The Fireparse --log-prefix fiasco continues. Tuomo Soini has
|
||
pointed out that the code in 1.4.4 restricts the length of
|
||
short zone names to 4 characters. I've produced version 1.4.4a
|
||
that restores the previous 5-character limit by conditionally
|

omitting the log rule number when the LOGFORMAT doesn't contain

'%d'. <br>

<p><b>5/23/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.4</b></p>
|

I apologize for the rapid-fire releases but since there is a

potential configuration change required to go from 1.4.3a to

<ol>
|
||
<li>A REDIRECT- rule target has been added. This target
|

behaves for REDIRECT in the same way as DNAT- does for DNAT

<br>

</li>
|

<li>The LOGMARKER variable has been renamed LOGFORMAT and has

three arguments (the chain name, logging rule number and the

<br>

LOGFORMAT string (up to but not including the first '%') to

find log messages in the 'show log', 'status' and 'hits'

commands. This part should not be omitted (the LOGFORMAT

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When logging is specified on a DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-]

that actually undergo DNAT or redirection will be logged.<br>

/etc/shorewall/hosts. When used in /etc/shorewall/interfaces,
|

the 'ZONE' column may not contain '-'; in other words,

'routeback' can't be used as an option for a multi-zone

interface. The 'routeback' option CAN be specified however on

||
individual group entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts.<br>
|

<br>
|

The 'routeback' option is similar to the old 'multi' option
|

with two exceptions:<br>
|

<br>
|
||
a) The option pertains to a particular
|

zone,interface,address tuple.<br>

<br>
|

b) The option only created infrastructure to

pass traffic from (zone,interface,address) tuples back to

<ol>
|
||
<li>The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer

<p><b>2/8/2003 - Shoreawall 1.3.14</b></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>New features include</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to
|
||
shorewall.conf. When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is
|
||
as it has always been (see
|
||
http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via
|
||
rules and policies just like any other connection request.
|
||
The FORWARDPING=Yes option in shorewall.conf and the 'noping'
|
||
and 'filterping' options in /etc/shorewall/interfaces will
|
||
all generate an error.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>It is now possible to direct Shorewall to create a
|
||
"label" such as "eth0:0" for IP addresses that it
|
||
creates under ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes.
|
||
This is done by specifying the label instead of just the
|
||
interface name:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) In the INTERFACE column of
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq<br>
|
||
b) In the INTERFACE column of
|
||
/etc/shorewall/nat<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for OpenVPN Tunnels.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Support for VLAN devices with names of the form $DEV.$VID
|
||
(e.g., eth0.0)<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In /etc/shorewall/tcrules, the MARK value may be
|
||
optionally followed by ":" and either 'F' or 'P' to designate
|
||
that the marking will occur in the FORWARD or PREROUTING
|
||
chains respectively. If this additional specification is
|
||
omitted, the chain used to mark packets will be determined by
|
||
the setting of the MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN option in <a href=
|
||
"Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column of
|
||
the /etc/shorewall/masq file, Shorewall previously
|
||
masqueraded traffic from only the first subnet defined on
|
||
that interface. It did not masquerade traffic from:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
a) The subnets associated with other
|
||
addresses on the interface.<br>
|
||
b) Subnets accessed through local
|
||
routers.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, if you enter an interface
|
||
name in the SUBNET column, shorewall will use the
|
||
firewall's routing table to construct the masquerading/SNAT
|
||
rules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example 1 -- This is how it works in 1.3.14.<br>

|

<br>
|
||
When upgrading to Shorewall 1.3.14, if you have multiple
|
||
local subnets connected to an interface that is specified
|
||
in the SUBNET column of an /etc/shorewall/masq entry, your
|
||
/etc/shorewall/masq file will need changing. In most cases,
|
||
you will simply be able to remove redundant entries. In
|
||
some cases though, you might want to change from using the
|
||
interface name to listing specific subnetworks if the
|
||
change described above will cause masquerading to occur on
|
||
subnetworks that you don't wish to masquerade.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Example 2 -- Suppose that your current config is as
|
||
follows:<br>

<p><b>1/13/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.13<br>
|
||
</b></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Just includes a few things that I had on the burner:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules file. DNAT- is intended for advanced
|
||
users who wish to minimize the number of rules that
|
||
connection requests must traverse.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules:
|
||
a header rewriting rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule
|
||
in the 'filter' table. A DNAT- rule only generates the first
|
||
of these rules. This is handy when you have several DNAT
|
||
rules that would generate the same ACCEPT rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Here are three rules from my previous rules
|
||
file:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DNAT
|
||
net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178<br>
|
||
DNAT
|
||
net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
These three rules ended up generating _three_
|
||
copies of<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
ACCEPT
|
||
net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
By writing the rules this way, I end up with
|
||
only one copy of the ACCEPT rule.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
DNAT-
|
||
net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -
|
||
206.124.146.178<br>
|
||
DNAT-
|
||
net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -
|
||
206.124.146.179<br>
|
||
ACCEPT net
|
||
dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,....<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the
|
||
applicable policy between each pair of zones.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
||
If this option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the
|
||
current traffic control rules during [re]start. This setting
|
||
is intended for use by people that prefer to configure
|
||
traffic shaping when the network interfaces come up rather
|
||
than when the firewall is started. If that is what you want
|
||
to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and do not supply
|
||
an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way, your traffic
|
||
shaping rules can still use the 'fwmark' classifier based on
|
||
packet marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A new SHARED_DIR variable has been added that allows
|
||
distribution packagers to easily move the shared directory
|
||
(default /usr/lib/shorewall). Users should never have a need
|
||
to change the value of this shorewall.conf setting.<br>
|
||

||
<li>"shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping rules

(tcrules and tcstart).</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>"shorewall debug [re]start" now turns off debugging after

an error occurs. This places the point of the failure near
|
||
the end of the trace rather than up in the middle of it.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>"shorewall [re]start" has been speeded up by more than
|
||
40% with my configuration. Your milage may vary.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A "shorewall show classifiers" command has been added
|
||
which shows the current packet classification filters. The
|
||
output from this command is also added as a separate page in
|
||
"shorewall monitor"</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>ULOG (must be all caps) is now accepted as a valid syslog
|
||
level and causes the subject packets to be logged using the
|
||
ULOG target rather than the LOG target. This allows you to
|
||
run ulogd (available from <a href=
|
||
"http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd">http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd</a>)
|
||
and log all Shorewall messages <a href=
|
||
"shorewall_logging.html">to a separate log file</a>.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD chain in
|
||
the mangle table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you the
|
||
chains in the mangle table), you can set
|
||
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes in <a href=
|
||
"Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This allows for
|
||
marking input packets based on their destination even when
|
||
you are using Masquerading or SNAT.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory with
|
||
empty 'init', 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you
|
||
already have a file with one of these names, don't worry --
|
||
the upgrade process won't overwrite your file.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>I have added a new RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL variable to <a href=
|
||
"Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This variable
|
||
specifies the syslog level at which packets are logged as a
|
||
result of entries in the /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 file.
|
||
Previously, these packets were always logged at the 'info'
|
||
level.<br>

<p><b>12/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Beta 3<br>

This version corrects a problem with Blacklist logging. In Beta

<li>A 'FORWARDPING' option has been added to <a href=

||
adding an ACCEPT rule for ICMP echo-request in <a href=

<li>The loopback CLASS A Network (127.0.0.0/8) has been added

<p>I would like to thank John Distler for his valuable input

displayed in the heading of the 'status' and 'show'

<li>A <b>proxyarp</b> option has been added for entries in <a

"http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/">http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/</a>).

Specifying the proxyarp option for an interface causes

Shorewall to set

<p><b>6/6/2002 - Why CVS Web access is Password
|
||
Protected</b></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Last weekend, I installed the CVS Web package to provide
|
||
brower-based access to the Shorewall CVS repository. Since
|
||
then, I have had several instances where my server was almost
|
||
unusable due to the high load generated by website copying
|
||
tools like HTTrack and WebStripper. These mindless tools:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Ignore robot.txt files.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Recursively copy everything that they find.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Should be classified as weapons rather than tools.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>These tools/weapons are particularly damaging when combined
|
||
with CVS Web because they doggedly follow every link in the
|
||
cgi-generated HTML resulting in 1000s of executions of the
|
||
cvsweb.cgi script. Yesterday, I spend several hours
|
||
implementing measures to block these tools but unfortunately,
|
||
these measures resulted in my server OOM-ing under even
|
||
moderate load.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Until I have the time to understand the cause of the OOM (or
|
||
until I buy more RAM if that is what is required), CVS Web
|
||
access will remain Password Protected.</p>

||
<li>A new "shorewall show connections" command has been
|
||
added.</li>
|

|

<li>In the "shorewall monitor" output, the currently tracked

connections are now shown on a separate page.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Prior to this release, Shorewall unconditionally added

the external IP adddress(es) specified in /etc/shorewall/nat.
|

Beginning with version 1.1.16, a new parameter (<a href=
|
||
"Documentation.htm#Aliases">ADD_IP_ALIASES</a>) may be set to

"no" (or "No") to inhibit this behavior. This allows IP

<li>Shorewall now supports alternate configuration
|
||
directories. When an alternate directory is specified when
|
||
starting or restarting Shorewall (e.g., "shorewall -c
|
||
/etc/testconf restart"), Shorewall will first look for
|
||
configuration files in the alternate directory then in
|
||
/etc/shorewall. To create an alternate configuration
|
||
simply:<br>
|
||
1. Create a New Directory<br>
|
||
2. Copy to that directory any of your configuration files
|
||
that you want to change.<br>
|
||
3. Modify the copied files as needed.<br>
|
||
4. Restart Shorewall specifying the new directory.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The rules for allowing/disallowing icmp echo-requests
|
||
(pings) are now moved after rules created when processing the
|
||
rules file. This allows you to add rules that selectively
|
||
allow/deny ping based on source or destination address.</li>

<li>Rules that specify multiple client ip addresses or

<li>Previous versions of Shorewall have an implementation of

version 1.1.6, NAT effective regardless of which interface
|

packets come from or are destined to. To get compatibility

with prior versions, I have added a new "ALL <a href=

<li>/tmp/shorewallpolicy-$$ is now removed if there is an
|
||
error while starting the firewall.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>/etc/shorewall/icmp.def and /etc/shorewall/common.def are
|
||
now used to define the icmpdef and common chains unless
|
||
overridden by the presence of /etc/shorewall/icmpdef or
|
||
/etc/shorewall/common.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>In the .lrp, the file /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.conf has
|
||
been corrected. An extra space after "/etc/shorwall/policy"
|
||
has been removed and "/etc/shorwall/rules" has been
|
||
added.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>When a sub-shell encounters a fatal error and has stopped
|
||
the firewall, it now kills the main shell so that the main
|
||
shell will not continue.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>A problem has been corrected where a sub-shell stopped
|
||
the firewall and main shell continued resulting in a
|
||
perplexing error message referring to "common.so"
|
||
resulted.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>Previously, placing "-" in the PORT(S) column in
|
||
/etc/shorewall/rules resulted in an error message during
|
||
start. This has been corrected.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>The first line of "install.sh" has been corrected -- I
|
||
had inadvertently deleted the initial "#".</li>
