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

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

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

to use marking to specify the gateway used by connections originating
|
|
|
|
on the firewall itself, the specify 'loose' for each provider. It has
|
|
|
|
bee reported that 'loose' may break the effect of 'track' so beware if
|
|
|
|
you need 'track' functionality (you shouldn't be originating many
|
|
|
|
connections from your firewall to the net anyway).<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|

column allows you to limit the routes copied to those that go through

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

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

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

Use of this feature requires that your kernel and iptabls support
|
|
|
|
CONNMARK target and conntrack match support. It does NOT require the
|
|
|
|
ROUTE target extension.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
WARNING: The current version of iptables (1.3.1) is broken with respect
|
|
|
|
to CONNMARK and iptables-save/iptables-restore. This means that if you
|
|
|
|
configure multiple ISPs, "shorewall restore" may fail. You must patch
|
|
|
|
your iptables using the patch at <a
|
|
|
|
href="http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/iptables/CONNMARK.diff">
|
|

http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/iptables/CONNMARK.diff</a>.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Shorewall 2.3.0 supports the 'cmd-owner' option of the owner
|
|
|
|
match facility in Netfilter. Like all owner match options, 'cmd-owner'
|
|
|
|
may only be applied to traffic that originates on the firewall.<br>

Note that this is not a particularly robust feature and I
|
|
|
|
would never advertise it as a "Personal Firewall" equivalent. Using
|
|
|
|
symbolic links, it's easy to alias command names to be anything you
|
|
|
|
want.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Support has been added for ipsets (see <a
|
|
|
|
href="http://people.netfilter.org/kadlec/ipset/">http://people.netfilter.org/kadlec/ipset/</a>).<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
In most places where a host or network address may be used, you may
|
|
|
|
also use the name of an ipset prefaced by "+".<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Example: "+Mirrors"<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
The name of the set may be optionally followed by:<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
a) a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in square brackets ([]) -- this number
|
|
|
|
indicates the maximum number of ipset binding levels that are to be
|
|
|
|
matched. Depending on the context where the ipset name is used, either
|
|
|
|
all "src" or all "dst" matches will be used.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Example: "+Mirrors[4]"<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
b) a series of "src" and "dst" options separated by commas and inclosed
|
|
|
|
in square brackets ([]). These will be passed directly to iptables in
|
|
|
|
the generated --set clause. See the ipset documentation for details.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
"+Mirrors[src,dst,src]"<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Note that "+Mirrors[4]" used in the SOURCE column of the rules file is
|
|
|
|
equivalent to "+Mirrors[src,src,src,src]".<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
To generate a negative match, prefix the "+" with "!" as in "!+Mirrors".<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Example 1: Blacklist all hosts in an ipset named "blacklist"<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>

|
/etc/shorewall/blacklist<br>

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

<li>Shorewall 2.4.0 can now configure routing if your kernel and

available in Patch-O-Matic-ng. This feature is *EXPERIMENTAL* since the

Netfilter team have no intention of ever releasing the ROUTE target

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