<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>

<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>
|
|
|

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Multiple interfaces with the

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

<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

|
|
|
|
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,
|

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

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>

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>

New Features:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|

<br>
|

|
</li>
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

defined between two network:<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>
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Including the firewall zone in a /etc/shorewall/hosts

|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Defining an interface for a zone in both
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

<br>

|
|

</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>In the second case, the following will appear during

|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>To support bridging, the following options have been added
|
|
|
|
|
|
to entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts:<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>

|

|
<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>There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the

terms "Source NAT" (SNAT) and "Static NAT". To avoid future
|
|
|
|
|
|
confusion, all instances of "Static NAT" have been replaced with
|

|
|
|
|
"One-to-one NAT" in the documentation and configuration files.</li>
|

will

|
|
|
no longer produce an error if they attempt to add a rule that would
|
|
|

override a NONE policy. The logic for expanding these wild-card
|
|
|
|
|
|
rules now simply skips those (SOURCE,DEST) pairs that have a NONE
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>DNAT rules that also specified SNAT now work reliably.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previously,
|
|
|

documentation is now released as separate HTML and XML packages.</li>

<li>To cut down on the number of "Why are these ports closed

rather

than stealthed?" questions, the SMB-related rules in

|

/etc/shorewall/common.def have been changed from 'reject' to
|
|
|
|
|
|
'DROP'.</li>
|
|
|
|

|
<li>For easier identification, packets logged under the
|
|
|
|
|

'norfc1918'
|
|
|
|
|
|
interface option are now logged out of chains named 'rfc1918'.
|
|

Previously, such packets were logged under chains named
|
|
|
|
|
|
'logdrop'.</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>

<p>Problems Corrected since version 1.4.8:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms "Source NAT" (SNAT) and "Static NAT". To avoid future confusion,
|
|
|
|
|
|
all instances of "Static NAT" have been replaced with "One-to-one NAT"
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the documentation and configuration files.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The description of NEWNOTSYN in shorewall.conf has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
reworded for clarity.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Wild-card rules (those involving "all" as SOURCE or DEST)
|
|
|
|
|
|
will no longer produce an error if they attempt to add a rule that
|
|
|
|
|
|
would override a NONE policy. The logic for expanding these wild-card
|
|
|
|
|
|
rules now simply skips those (SOURCE,DEST) pairs that have a NONE
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>DNAT rules that also specified SNAT now work reliably.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, there were cases where the SNAT specification was
|
|
|
|
|
|
effectively ignored.<br>

|

|
|
|

New Features: </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The documentation has been completely rebased to Docbook
|
|
|
|
|
|
XML. The documentation is now released as separate HTML and XML
|
|
|
|
|
|
packages.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>To cut down on the number of "Why are these ports closed
|
|
|
|
|
|
rather than stealthed?" questions, the SMB-related rules in
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/common.def have been changed from 'reject' to 'DROP'.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>For easier identification, packets logged under the
|
|
|
|
|
|
'norfc1918' interface option are now logged out of chains named
|
|
|
|
|
|
'rfc1918'. Previously, such packets were logged under chains named
|
|
|
|
|
|
'logdrop'.</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
|
2004-01-13 23:33:26 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/action.LogAndAccept and in that file, you would add the
|
|
|
|
|
|
two
|
2004-01-01 00:21:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
rules:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOG:info<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
ACCEPT<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</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
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

<li>In Shorewall 1.4.2, an optimization was added. This

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>Previously, neither the 'routefilter' interface option nor the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>If MAC verification was enabled on an interface with a /32
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
address and a broadcast address then an error would occur during
|
|
|
|
|
|
startup.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The NONE policy's intended use is to suppress the generating of
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The 'routeback' option was broken for wildcard interfaces
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
(e.g., "tun+"). This has been corrected so that 'routeback' now
|
|
|
|
|
|
works as expected in this case.<br>

You would normally want to place those three rules BEFORE any

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A BLACKLISTNEWNONLY option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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

<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

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

"<zone>_frwd" chains might contain too few rules. That wrong

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>Shorewall previously choked over IPV6 addresses configured on
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|

|
|
interfaces in contexts where Shorewall needed to detect something

corrected so that the existing route is replaced if it already

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

been corrected.</li>

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>If there is no policy defined for the zones specified in a
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

rule, the firewall script previously encountered a shell syntax

<li>Previously, if neither /etc/shorewall/common nor
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

|
/etc/shorewall/common.def existed, Shorewall would fail to start
|
|

resulted in the following during subsequent attempts to start:<br>

|
|
|

Shorewall now reports a fatal error if neither of these two files

exist and correctly removes the lock fille.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The order of processing the various options has been changed

2003-12-31 05:37:05 +01:00

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

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>

|
|

|
|
<protocol> is the

|
|
|
|
|
|
<port> if the

|
|

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

|
|
|
|
|
|
these zones.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include a
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges. Netfilter
|
|
|
|
|
|
will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin fashion. \</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<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
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
this facility.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

|
|
<interval> is "sec" or

|
|
|
|
|

<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>

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|

|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>

command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<br>

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is

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

|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>

|
|

|
|
<protocol> is the

|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include a
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges. Netfilter
|
|
|
|
|
|
will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin fashion. \</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<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
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|

|
this facility.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

<interval> is "sec" or

<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>

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|

|
|
|
<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>

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

<li>Corrected handling of MAC addresses in the SOURCE column of the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|

<li>The "shorewall stop" command is now disabled when
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people from

shooting themselves in the foot prior to having configured

Shorewall.</li>

during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ip

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

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
still possible for people to shoot themselves in the foot.<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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>

|
|
<protocol> is the

|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include a
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges. Netfilter
|
|
|
|
|
|
will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin fashion. \</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<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
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>

command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is
|
|

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

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
|
|
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

|

<port> if the

|
|
|
|
|
these zones.</li>

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The ADDRESS column in /etc/shorewall/masq may now include a
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list of addresses and/or address ranges. Netfilter
|
|
|
|
|
|
will use all listed addresses/ranges in round-robin fashion. \</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<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
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
this facility.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Bridge interfaces (br[0-9]) may now be used in
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/maclist.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>ACCEPT, DNAT[-], REDIRECT[-] and LOG rules defined in
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

|
<rate> is the sustained rate

|
|

|
|
<interval> is "sec" or

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>

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>

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

<li>Corrected handling of MAC addresses in the SOURCE column of the

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people from

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ip

<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
still possible for people to shoot themselves in the foot.<br>

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

2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
|
|
<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

<port> if the

|
|

|
|
used by the tunnel.<br>
|
|
|

|
|
<zone> is the zone

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

|
|
|
|
<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>

<ol>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

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

<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

There may be no white space between the ACTION and "<" nor there

|
|
|

to specify logging of a rate-limited rule, the ":" and log level
|

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

|
|
|
<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>

/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people from

|
<ol>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

still possible for people to shoot themselves in the foot.<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

<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|

<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

|
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

|
|
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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>Corrected problem in 1.4.6 where the MANGLE_ENABLED variable
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
was being tested before it was set.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Corrected handling of MAC addresses in the SOURCE column of the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
tcrules file. Previously, these addresses resulted in an invalid

iptables command.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>The "shorewall stop" command is now disabled when
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people from
|

shooting themselves in the foot prior to having configured

|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall.</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A change introduced in version 1.4.6 caused error messages
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
during "shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ip

|
|
|
|
|
successfully added in spite of the messages.<br>
|

<li>To maintain strict compatibility with previous versions,
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|

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

|
|
|
<ol>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
stop" entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

|
|
|
|
|
still possible for people to shoot themselves in the foot.<br>

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

<li>Given the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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

the result that this interface will only answer ARP 'who-has'

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.<br>

<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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

Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been introduced

blacklisted on all of your firewall's interfaces.</li>

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
a) All traffic originating from the firewall itself;
|
|
|
|
|
|
and<br>
|
|

b) All traffic that is part of or related to an

|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

confidently type "shorewall stop". As part of its stop processing,

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

|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
blacklisted on all of your firewall's interfaces.

|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

rules;

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>

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple DNAT rules in

<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918'
|

filtering in the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter

|
rules;
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>

If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash),

then the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP

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>

Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or

<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918'
|

filtering in the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>

rules;
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|

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>

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>

Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or

|
|
|
|
|
dash) then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00

chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918'

rules;

2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|

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

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>

<li>Routing traffic from an interface back out that interface
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
continues to be a problem. While I firmly believe that this should
|
|
|
|
|
|
never happen, people continue to want to do it. To limit the damage
|
|
|
|
|
|
that such nonsense produces, I have added a new 'routeback' option
|
|
|
|
|
|
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /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 themselves
|
|
|
|
|
|
(the 'multi' option affected all (zone,interface,address) tuples
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the given 'interface').<br>

<p><b>3/17/2003 - Shorewall 1.4.0</b> <b></b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall 1.4 represents the next step in the evolution of
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall. The main thrust of the initial release is simply to
|
|
|
|
|
|
remove the cruft that has accumulated in Shorewall over time. <br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>IMPORTANT: Shorewall 1.4.0 requires</b> <b>the iproute package
|
|
|
|
|
|
('ip' utility).</b><br>

<li>An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been
|
|
|

(see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).<br>

<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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

<br>
|
|
|

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
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00

MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN option in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>.<br>

<li>When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column of the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

<li>An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf.
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been
|
|
|
|
|
|
(see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).<br>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>It is now possible to direct Shorewall to create a "label" such
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column of the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/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>

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

<li>A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/rules file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who
|
|
|
|
|
|
wish to minimize the number of rules that connection requests must
|
|
|
|
|
|
traverse.<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>

for use by people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when the

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'

<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>
|
2003-12-31 03:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<li>Ignore robot.txt files.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Recursively copy everything that they find.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Should be classified as weapons rather than tools.</li>
|
2003-12-30 02:19:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
</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>

configuration simply:<br>
