<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is
a <a
href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables)
based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server
or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

<p><b>7/22/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.6a</b><b> <img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
<br>
</b></p>
<b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
<ol>
<li>Previously, if TC_ENABLED is set to yes in shorewall.conf then
Shorewall would fail to start with the error "ERROR: <20>Traffic Control requires
Mangle"; that problem has been corrected.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>7/20/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.6</b><b> <img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
<br>
</b> </p>
<p><b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall encountered
start errors when started using the "service" mechanism has been worked
around.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column of
a DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple DNAT rules in
the nat table (one for each element in the list). Shorewall now correctly
creates a single DNAT rule with multiple "--to-destination" clauses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Corrected a problem in Beta 1 where DNS names containing a
"-" were mis-handled when they appeared in the DEST column of a rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A number of problems with rule parsing have been corrected.
Corrections involve the handling of "z1!z2" in the SOURCE column as well
as lists in the ORIGINAL DESTINATION column.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The message "Adding rules for DHCP" is now suppressed if there
are no DHCP rules to add.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed
entries in the host file as follows:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> z<><7A><EFBFBD> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
This capability was never documented and has been removed in 1.4.6
to allow entries of the following format:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> z<><7A> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options
have been removed from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These capabilities
are now automatically detected by Shorewall (see below).<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This option
may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting
NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on the associated interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in /etc/shorewall/masq
to use for SNAT is now documented. ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for
address ranges.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than
the first one on an interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin)
over a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses
given as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration
options have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects
whether these capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output
of the start, restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the
outcome:<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
<20> <20>NAT: Available<br>
<20> <20>Packet Mangling: Available<br>
<20> <20>Multi-port Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has
been added. This extension is available in recent kernel/iptables releases
and allows for rules which match against elements in netfilter's connection
tracking table. Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
extension and reports its availability in the output of the start, restart
and check commands.<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
<20> <20>NAT: Available<br>
<20> <20>Packet Mangling: Available<br>
<20> <20>Multi-port Match: Available<br>
<20> <20>Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by Shorewall
is changed in the following ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not
create chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918' filtering
in the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter
rules; one in the nat table and one in the filter table. If the Connection
Tracking Match Extension is available, the rule in the filter table is
extended to check that the original destination address was the same as
specified (or defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script (/usr/share/shorewall/firewall)
may now be specified using the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash),
then the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses
128.0.0.0-1 and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information
for all valid IP addresses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.
<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> iprange &lt;address&gt;-&lt;address&gt;<br>
<br>
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list of
network and host addresses. The command can be useful if you need to
construct an efficient set of rules that accept connections from a range
of network addresses.<br>
<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash
or dash) then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway root]# shorewall iprange 192.168.1.4-192.168.12.9<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.4/30<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.8/29<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.16/28<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.32/27<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.64/26<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.128/25<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.2.0/23<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.4.0/22<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.8.0/22<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.12.0/29<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.12.8/31<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway root]#<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A list of host/net addresses is now allowed in an entry
in /etc/shorewall/hosts.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD> foo<6F><6F><EFBFBD> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
</li>
<li value="11">The "shorewall check" command now includes the chain
name when printing the applicable policy for each pair of zones.<br>
<20><br>
<20><><EFBFBD> Example:<br>
<20><br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> Policy for dmz to net is REJECT using chain all2all<br>
<20><br>
This means that the policy for connections from the dmz to the internet
is REJECT and the applicable entry in the /etc/shorewall/policy was the all-&gt;all
policy.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the 2.6 Kernel series has been added.<br>
</li>
</ol>

<p><b>7/15/2003 - New Mirror in Brazil</b><b> <img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
<br>
</b></p>
Thanks to the folks at securityopensource.org.br, there is now a <a
href="http://shorewall.securityopensource.org.br" target="_top">Shorewall
mirror in Brazil</a>
<p><b>6/17/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.5</b><b> </b></p>
<p>Problems Corrected:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The command "shorewall debug try &lt;directory&gt;"
now correctly traces the attempt.</li>
<li>The INCLUDE directive now works properly in the
zones file; previously, INCLUDE in that file was ignored.</li>
<li>/etc/shorewall/routestopped records with an empty
second column are no longer ignored.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>New Features:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The ORIGINAL DEST column in a DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-]
rule may now contain a list of addresses. If the list begins with "!'
then the rule will take effect only if the original destination address
in the connection request does not match any of the addresses listed.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>6/15/2003 - Shorewall, Kernel 2.4.21 and iptables 1.2.8</b><b>
