Shorewall 2.1.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected since 2.0.3
1) A non-empty DEST entry in /etc/shorewall/tcrules will generate an
error and Shorewall fails to start.
2) A potential security vulnerablilty in the way that Shorewall
handles temporary files and directories has been corrected.
3) Two problems with logging NAT rules (DNAT and REDIRECT) could cause
startup failures.
4) Some users have reported the pkttype match option in iptables/
Netfilter failing to match certain broadcast packets. The result
is that the firewall log shows a lot of broadcast packets.
Users experiencing this problem can use PKTTYPE=No in
shorewall.conf to cause Shorewall to use IP address filtering of
broadcasts rather than packet type.
Problems Corrected since 2.1.0
1) The "check" command fails with the following message:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0 to Shorewall 2.1:
None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features:
1) ICMP packets that are in the INVALID state are now dropped by the
Reject and Drop default actions. They do so using the new
'dropInvalid' builtin action.
