< p > The firewall at shorewall.net has been upgraded to the 2.4.21 kernel and
iptables 1.2.8 (using the "official" RPM from netfilter.org). No problems
have been encountered with this set of software. The Shorewall version is
1.4.4b plus the accumulated changes for 1.4.5.< br >

< p > Groan -- This version corrects a problem whereby the --log-level was not
being set when logging via syslog. The most commonly reported symptom was
that Shorewall messages were being written to the console even though console
logging was correctly configured per FAQ 16.< br >

< p > < b > 5/27/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.4a< / b > < / p >
The Fireparse --log-prefix fiasco continues. Tuomo Soini has pointed
out that the code in 1.4.4 restricts the length of short zone names to
4 characters. I've produced version 1.4.4a that restores the previous 5-character
limit by conditionally omitting the log rule number when the LOGFORMAT
doesn't contain '%d'. < br >

2003-06-23 22:24:51 +02:00
I apologize for the rapid-fire releases but since there is a potential
configuration change required to go from 1.4.3a to 1.4.4, I decided to
2003-05-29 16:48:09 +02:00
make it a full release rather than just a bug-fix release. < br >

< li > A REDIRECT- rule target has been added. This target behaves
for REDIRECT in the same way as DNAT- does for DNAT in that the Netfilter
nat table REDIRECT rule is added but not the companion filter table ACCEPT
rule.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > The LOGMARKER variable has been renamed LOGFORMAT and has been
changed to a 'printf' formatting template which accepts three arguments
(the chain name, logging rule number and the disposition). To use LOGFORMAT
with fireparse (< a href = "http://www.fireparse.com" > http://www.fireparse.com< / a > ),
set it as:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> LOGFORMAT="fp=%s:%d a=%s "< br >
<20> < br >
< b > CAUTION: < / b > /sbin/shorewall uses the leading part of the LOGFORMAT
string (up to but not including the first '%') to find log messages in
the 'show log', 'status' and 'hits' commands. This part should not be omitted
(the LOGFORMAT should not begin with "%") and the leading part should be
sufficiently unique for /sbin/shorewall to identify Shorewall messages.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > When logging is specified on a DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-] rule,
the logging now takes place in the nat table rather than in the filter
table. This way, only those connections that actually undergo DNAT or
redirection will be logged.< br >

This version primarily corrects the documentation included in the
.tgz and in the .rpm. In addition: < br >

2003-06-23 22:24:51 +02:00
< li > (This change is in 1.4.3 but is not documented) If you are
running iptables 1.2.7a and kernel 2.4.20, then Shorewall will return reject
replies as follows:< br >
<20> <> a) tcp - RST< br >
<20> <> b) udp - ICMP port unreachable< br >
<20> <> c) icmp - ICMP host unreachable< br >
<20> <> d) Otherwise - ICMP host prohibited< br >
If you are running earlier software, Shorewall will follow it's
traditional convention:< br >
<20> <> a) tcp - RST< br >
<20> <> b) Otherwise - ICMP port unreachable< / li >
< li > UDP port 135 is now silently dropped in the common.def chain.
Remember that this chain is traversed just before a DROP or REJECT policy
is enforced.< br >

< li > Routing traffic from an interface back out that interface
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 >
<20> < br >
The 'routeback' option is similar to the old 'multi' option
with two exceptions:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> a) The option pertains to a particular zone,interface,address
tuple.< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> 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 >

to shorewall.conf. When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling
is as it has always been (see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).< br >
< br >
When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping)

to create a "label" such as<61> "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 >

<20> <> b) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/nat< br >

< br >
< / li >
< li > In /etc/shorewall/tcrules, the MARK value
may be optionally followed by ":" and either 'F' or 'P' to designate
that the marking will occur in the FORWARD or PREROUTING chains
respectively. If this additional specification is omitted, the chain
used to mark packets will be determined by the setting of the MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN
option in < a href = "Documentation.htm#Conf" > shorewall.conf< / a > .< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > When an interface name is entered in the

Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, if you

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

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

< li > A new 'DNAT-' action has been
added for entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules file. DNAT-
is intended for advanced users who wish to minimize the number
of rules that connection requests must traverse.< br >
< br >
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates
two iptables rules: a header rewriting rule in the 'nat'
table and an ACCEPT rule in the 'filter' table. A DNAT- rule
only generates the first of these rules. This is handy when you
have several DNAT rules that would generate the same ACCEPT rule.< br >

< li > A new CLEAR_TC option has been
added to shorewall.conf. If this option is set to 'No' then
Shorewall won't clear the current traffic control rules during
[re]start. This setting is intended for use by people that prefer
to configure traffic shaping when the network interfaces come up
rather than when the firewall is started. If that is what you want
to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and do not supply an /etc/shorewall/tcstart
file. That way, your traffic shaping rules can still use the 'fwmark'
classifier based on packet marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > A new SHARED_DIR variable has
been added that allows distribution packagers to easily move
the shared directory (default /usr/lib/shorewall). Users should

setting.< br >

This variable specifies the syslog level at which packets

now turns off debugging after an error occurs. This
places the point of the failure near the end of the trace rather
2003-05-29 16:48:09 +02:00
than up in the middle of it.< / li >

Your milage may vary.< / li >
< li > A "shorewall show classifiers"
command has been added which shows the current packet
classification filters. The output from this command is
also added as a separate page in "shorewall monitor"< / li >
< li > ULOG (must be all caps)
is now accepted as a valid syslog level and causes the
subject packets to be logged using the ULOG target rather than
the LOG target. This allows you to run ulogd (available from
< a href = "http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd" > http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd< / a > )
and log all Shorewall messages < a

2003-06-23 22:24:51 +02:00
< li > If you are running a
kernel that has a FORWARD chain in the mangle table
("shorewall show mangle" will show you the chains in the mangle
table), you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes in shorewall.conf.
This allows for marking input packets based on their destination
even when you are using Masquerading or SNAT.< / li >
< li > I have cluttered up the
/etc/shorewall directory with empty 'init', 'start',
'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you already have a file with
one of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade process won't overwrite
your file.< / li >

< li > A 'tcpflags' option
has been added to entries in < a

This option causes Shorewall to make a set of sanity check on TCP
packet header flags.< / li >
< li > It is now allowed
to use 'all' in the SOURCE or DEST column in a
< a href = "Documentation.htm#Rules" > rule< / a > . When used, 'all'
must appear by itself (in may not be qualified) and it does not enable
intra-zone traffic. For example, the rule < br >
< br >
<20> <20> ACCEPT loc all tcp
80< br >
< br >
does not enable http
traffic from 'loc' to 'loc'.< / li >
< li > Shorewall's use
of the 'echo' command is now compatible with bash
clones such as ash and dash.< / li >

< li > The 'icmp.def' file is now empty! The rules
in that file were required in ipchains firewalls
but are not required in Shorewall. Users who have
ALLOWRELATED=No in < a href = "Documentation.htm#Conf" > shorewall.conf< / a >
should see the < a href = "errata.htm#Upgrade" > Upgrade Issues< / a > .< / li >
< li > A 'FORWARDPING' option has been added to
< a href = "Documentation.htm#Conf" > shorewall.conf< / a > . The
effect of setting this variable to Yes is the same
as the effect of adding an ACCEPT rule for ICMP
echo-request in < a
href="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">/etc/shorewall/icmpdef< / a > .
Users who have such a rule in icmpdef are
encouraged to switch to FORWARDPING=Yes.< / li >
< li > The loopback CLASS A Network (127.0.0.0/8)
has been added to the rfc1918 file.< / li >
< li > Shorewall now works with iptables 1.2.7< / li >

SYN and ICMP treatment in Shorewall.

< li > A < b > proxyarp < / b > option has been added

Specifying the proxyarp option for
an interface causes Shorewall to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/< interface> /proxy_arp.< / li >

< 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 >

more RAM if that is what is required),
CVS Web access will remain Password Protected.

< li > A "shorewall try" command has been added (syntax:
shorewall try < i > < configuration directory> < / i > ).
This command attempts "shorewall -c < i > < configuration
directory> < / i > start" and if that results in the
firewall being stopped due to an error, a "shorewall start"
command is executed. The 'try' command allows you to
create a new < a href = "Documentation.htm#Configs" > configuration< / a >
and attempt to start it; if there is an error that leaves
your firewall in the stopped state, it will automatically
be restarted using the default configuration (in /etc/shorewall).< / li >
< li > A new variable ADD_SNAT_ALIASES has been added
to < a href = "Documentation.htm#Conf" > /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf< / a > .

automatically add IP addresses listed in the
third column of the < a href = "Documentation.htm#Masq" > /etc/shorewall/masq< / a >
file.< / li >

tracked connections are now shown on a separate

< li > Prior to this release, Shorewall unconditionally
added the external IP adddress(es) specified in
/etc/shorewall/nat. Beginning with version 1.1.16,
a new parameter (< a href = "Documentation.htm#Aliases" > ADD_IP_ALIASES< / a > )
may be set to "no" (or "No") to inhibit
this behavior. This allows IP aliases created using
your distribution's network configuration tools
to be used in static NAT.<2E> < / li >

< li > Shorewall now supports alternate configuration
directories. When an alternate directory is specified
when starting or restarting Shorewall (e.g.,
"shorewall -c /etc/testconf restart"), Shorewall will
first look for configuration files in the alternate directory
then in /etc/shorewall. To create an alternate configuration
simply:< br >
1. Create a New Directory< br >
2. Copy to that directory any of your configuration
files that you want to change.< br >
3. Modify the copied files as needed.< br >
4. Restart Shorewall specifying the new directory.< / li >
< li > The rules for allowing/disallowing icmp echo-requests
(pings) are now moved after rules created when
processing the rules file. This allows you to add
rules that selectively allow/deny ping based on source or
destination address.< / li >
< li > Rules that specify multiple client ip addresses
or subnets no longer cause startup failures.< / li >
< li > Zone names in the policy file are now validated
against the zones file.< / li >
< li > If you have < a href = "Documentation.htm#MangleEnabled" > packet
mangling< / a > support enabled, the "< a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">norfc1918< / a > "
interface option now logs and drops any incoming packets on
the interface that have an RFC 1918 destination address.< / li >

the broadcast address on a dynamic interface. This
command should be used in place of "shorewall restart"
when the internet interface's IP address changes.< / li >
< li > The /etc/shorewall/start file (if any) is now

packets come from or are destined to. To get compatibility
with prior versions, I have added a new "ALL < a
href="NAT.htm#AllInterFaces">"ALL INTERFACES"<22> column to /etc/shorewall/nat< / a > .
By placing "no" or "No" in the new column, the NAT
behavior of prior versions may be retained.<2E> < / li >
< li > The treatment of < a href = "IPSEC.htm#RoadWarrior" > IPSEC
Tunnels where the remote gateway is a standalone system
has been improved< / a > . Previously, it was necessary to include
an additional rule allowing UDP port 500 traffic to pass
through the tunnel. Shorewall will now create this rule automatically
when you place the name of the remote peer's zone in a new GATEWAY
ZONE column in /etc/shorewall/tunnels.<2E> < / li >
