<h2 align="left"><small></small><a name="V1.3"></a>Problems in Version 1.3</h2>
<h3>Version 1.3.14</h3>
<ul>
<li>There is an <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.14/rfc1918">updated
rfc1918</a> file that reflects the resent allocation of 222.0.0.0/8 and
223.0.0.0/8.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The documentation for the routestopped file claimed that a comma-separated
list could appear in the second column while the code only supported a
single host or network address.</li>
<li>Log messages produced by 'logunclean' and 'dropunclean' were not
rate-limited.</li>
<li>802.11b devices with names of the form <i>wlan</i>&lt;n&gt; don't
support the 'maclist' interface option.</li>
<li>Log messages generated by RFC 1918 filtering are not rate limited.</li>
<li>The firewall fails to start in the case where you have "eth0 eth1"
in /etc/shorewall/masq and the default route is through eth1.<br>
</li>
</ul>
These problems have been corrected in <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.14/firewall">this
firewall script</a> which may be installed in /usr/lib/shorewall as described
above.<br>
<h3>Version 1.3.13</h3>
<ul>
<li>The 'shorewall add' command produces an error message referring
to 'find_interfaces_by_maclist'.</li>
<li>The 'shorewall delete' command can leave behind undeleted rules.</li>
<li>The 'shorewall add' command can fail with "iptables: Index of
insertion too big".<br>
</li>
</ul>
All three problems are corrected by <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.13/firewall">this
firewall script</a> which may be installed in /usr/lib/shorewall as described
above.<br>
<ul>
<li>VLAN interface names of the form "eth<i>n</i>.<i>m</i>" (e.g.,
eth0.1) are not supported in this version or in 1.3.12. If you need such
support, post on the users list and I can provide you with a patched version.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.12</h3>
<ul>
<li>If RFC_1918_LOG_LEVEL is set to anything but ULOG, the effect
is the same as if RFC_1918_LOG_LEVEL=info had been specified. The problem
is corrected by <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.12/firewall">this
firewall script</a> which may be installed in /usr/lib/shorewall as described
above.</li>
<li>VLAN interface names of the form "eth<i>n</i>.<i>m</i>" (e.g.,
eth0.1) are not supported in this version or in 1.3.13. If you need such
support, post on the users list and I can provide you with a patched version.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.12 LRP</h3>
<ul>
<li>The .lrp was missing the /etc/shorewall/routestopped file
-- a new lrp (shorwall-1.3.12a.lrp) has been released which corrects this
problem.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.11a</h3>
<ul>
<li><a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.11/rfc1918">This
copy of /etc/shorewall/rfc1918</a> reflects the recent allocation of
82.0.0.0/8.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.11</h3>
<ul>
<li>When installing/upgrading using the .rpm, you may receive
the following warnings:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> user teastep does not exist - using root<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> group teastep does not exist - using root<br>
<br>
These warnings are harmless and may be ignored. Users downloading
the .rpm from shorewall.net or mirrors should no longer see these warnings
as the .rpm you will get from there has been corrected.</li>
<li>DNAT rules that exclude a source subzone (SOURCE column
contains ! followed by a sub-zone list) result in an error message and
Shorewall fails to start.<br>
<br>
Install <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.11/firewall">this
corrected script</a> in /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall to correct this
problem. Thanks go to Roger Aich who analyzed this problem and provided
a fix.<br>
<br>
This problem is corrected in version 1.3.11a.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.10</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you experience problems connecting to a PPTP server
running on your firewall and you have a 'pptpserver' entry in /etc/shorewall/tunnels,
<a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.10/firewall">this
version of the firewall script</a> may help. Please report any cases
where installing this script in /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall solved your
connection problems. Beginning with version 1.3.10, it is safe to save
the old version of /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall before copying in the
new one since /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall is the real script now and
not just a symbolic link to the real script.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.9a</h3>
<ul>
<li> If entries are used in /etc/shorewall/hosts and MERGE_HOSTS=No
then the following message appears during "shorewall [re]start":</li>
</ul>
<pre> recalculate_interfacess: command not found<br></pre>
<blockquote> The updated firewall script at <a
href="ftp://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.9/firewall"
target="_top">ftp://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.9/firewall</a>
corrects this problem.Copy the script to /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall
as described above.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote> Alternatively, edit /usr/lob/shorewall/firewall and change the
single occurence (line 483 in version 1.3.9a) of 'recalculate_interefacess'
to 'recalculate_interface'. <br>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The installer (install.sh) issues a misleading message
"Common functions installed in /var/lib/shorewall/functions" whereas
the file is installed in /usr/lib/shorewall/functions. The installer
also performs incorrectly when updating old configurations that had the
file /etc/shorewall/functions. <a
href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.9/install.sh">Here
is an updated version that corrects these problems.<br>
</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.3.9</h3>
<b>TUNNELS Broken in 1.3.9!!! </b>There is an updated
firewall script at <a
href="ftp://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.9/firewall"
target="_top">ftp://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.9/firewall</a>
-- copy that file to /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall as described above.<br>
<br>
Version 1.3.8
<ul>
<li> Use of shell variables in the LOG LEVEL or SYNPARMS
columns of the policy file doesn't work.</li>
<li>A DNAT rule with the same original and new IP
addresses but with different port numbers doesn't work (e.g., "DNAT
loc dmz:10.1.1.1:24 tcp 25 - 10.1.1.1")<br>
</li>
</ul>
Installing <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.8/firewall">
this corrected firewall script</a> in /var/lib/shorewall/firewall
as described above corrects these
problems.
<h3>Version 1.3.7b</h3>
<p>DNAT rules where the source zone is 'fw' ($FW) result in an error
message. Installing <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.7/firewall">
this corrected firewall script</a> in /var/lib/shorewall/firewall
as described above corrects this
problem.</p>
<h3>Version 1.3.7a</h3>
<p>"shorewall refresh" is not creating the proper rule for FORWARDPING=Yes.
Consequently, after "shorewall refresh", the firewall will not
forward icmp echo-request (ping) packets. Installing
<a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.7/firewall">
this corrected firewall script</a> in /var/lib/shorewall/firewall
as described above corrects this
problem.</p>
<h3>Version &lt;= 1.3.7a</h3>
<p>If "norfc1918" and "dhcp" are both specified as options on a
given interface then RFC 1918 checking is occurring before DHCP
checking. This means that if a DHCP client broadcasts using
an RFC 1918 source address, then the firewall will
reject the broadcast (usually logging it). This
has two problems:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the firewall
is running a DHCP server, the client
won't be able to obtain an IP address lease from
that server.</li>
<li>With this order
of checking, the "dhcp" option
cannot be used as a noise-reduction measure where there are both
dynamic and static clients on a LAN segment.</li>
</ol>
<p> <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.7/firewall">
This version of the 1.3.7a firewall script </a>
corrects the problem. It must be installed
in /var/lib/shorewall as described
above.</p>
<h3>Version 1.3.7</h3>
<p>Version 1.3.7 dead on arrival -- please use version 1.3.7a and check
your version against these md5sums -- if there's a difference, please
download again.</p>
<pre> d2fffb7fb99bcc6cb047ea34db1df10 shorewall-1.3.7a.tgz<br> 6a7fd284c8685b2b471a2f47b469fb94 shorewall-1.3.7a-1.noarch.rpm<br> 3decd14296effcff16853106771f7035 shorwall-1.3.7a.lrp</pre>
<p>In other words, type "md5sum &lt;<i>whatever package you downloaded</i>&gt;
and compare the result with what you see above.</p>
<p>I'm embarrassed to report that 1.2.7 was also DOA -- maybe I'll skip the
.7 version in each sequence from now on.</p>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.6</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">If ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is specified in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf,
an error occurs when the firewall script attempts to
add an SNAT alias. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">The <b>logunclean </b>and <b>dropunclean</b> options
cause errors during startup when Shorewall is run with iptables
1.2.7. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">These problems are fixed in <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.6/firewall">
this correct firewall script</a> which must be installed in /var/lib/shorewall/
as described above. These problems are also corrected in version 1.3.7.</p>
<h3 align="left">Two-interface Samples 1.3.6 (file two-interfaces.tgz)</h3>
<p align="left">A line was inadvertently deleted from the "interfaces
file" -- this line should be added back in if the version that you
downloaded is missing it:</p>
<p align="left">net<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> eth0<68><30><EFBFBD> detect<63><74><EFBFBD> routefilter,dhcp,norfc1918</p>
<p align="left">If you downloaded two-interfaces-a.tgz then the above
line should already be in the file.</p>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.5-1.3.5b</h3>
<p align="left">The new 'proxyarp' interface option doesn't work :-(
This is fixed in <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.5/firewall">
this corrected firewall script</a> which must be installed in
/var/lib/shorewall/ as described above.</p>
<h3 align="left">Versions 1.3.4-1.3.5a</h3>
<p align="left">Prior to version 1.3.4, host file entries such as the
following were allowed:</p>
<div align="left">
<pre> adm eth0:1.2.4.5,eth0:5.6.7.8</pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">That capability was lost in version 1.3.4 so that it is only
possible to<74> include a single host specification on each line.
This problem is corrected by <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.5a/firewall">this
modified 1.3.5a firewall script</a>. Install the script in
/var/lib/pub/shorewall/firewall as instructed above.</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">This problem is corrected in version 1.3.5b.</p>
</div>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.5</h3>
<p align="left">REDIRECT rules are broken in this version. Install <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.5/firewall">
this corrected firewall script</a> in /var/lib/pub/shorewall/firewall
as instructed above. This problem is corrected in version
1.3.5a.</p>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.n, n &lt; 4</h3>
<p align="left">The "shorewall start" and "shorewall restart" commands
to not verify that the zones named in the /etc/shorewall/policy file
have been previously defined in the /etc/shorewall/zones file.
The "shorewall check" command does perform this verification so
it's a good idea to run that command after you have made configuration
changes.</p>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.n, n &lt; 3</h3>
<p align="left">If you have upgraded from Shorewall 1.2 and after "Activating
rules..." you see the message: "iptables: No chains/target/match
by that name" then you probably have an entry in /etc/shorewall/hosts
that specifies an interface that you didn't include
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. To correct this problem, you
must add an entry to /etc/shorewall/interfaces. Shorewall 1.3.3
and later versions produce a clearer error message in this
case.</p>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.2</h3>
<p align="left">Until approximately 2130 GMT on 17 June 2002, the download
sites contained an incorrect version of the .lrp file. That file
can be identified by its size (56284 bytes). The correct version
has a size of 38126 bytes.</p>
<ul>
<li>The code to detect a duplicate interface
entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces contained a typo that
prevented it from working correctly. </li>
<li>"NAT_BEFORE_RULES=No" was broken;
it behaved just like "NAT_BEFORE_RULES=Yes".</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">Both problems are corrected in <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.2/firewall">
this script</a> which should be installed in <b><u>/var/lib/shorewall</u></b>
as described above.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">The IANA have just announced the allocation of subnet
221.0.0.0/8. This <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.2/rfc1918">
updated rfc1918</a> file reflects that allocation.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.1</h3>
<ul>
<li>TCP SYN packets may be double counted
when LIMIT:BURST is included in a CONTINUE or ACCEPT policy
(i.e., each packet is sent through the limit chain twice).</li>
<li>An unnecessary jump to the policy
chain is sometimes generated for a CONTINUE policy.</li>
<li>When an option is given for more
than one interface in /etc/shorewall/interfaces then
depending on the option, Shorewall may ignore all but
the first appearence of the option. For example:<br>
<br>
net<65><74><EFBFBD> eth0<68><30><EFBFBD> dhcp<br>
loc<6F><63><EFBFBD> eth1<68><31><EFBFBD> dhcp<br>
<br>
Shorewall will ignore the 'dhcp' on eth1.</li>
<li>Update 17 June 2002 - The bug described
in the prior bullet affects the following options:
dhcp, dropunclean, logunclean, norfc1918, routefilter,
multi, filterping and noping. An additional bug has been
found that affects only the 'routestopped' option.<br>
<br>
Users who downloaded the corrected script
prior to 1850 GMT today should download and install
the corrected script again to ensure that this second
problem is corrected.</li>
</ul>
<p align="left">These problems are corrected in <a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.1/firewall">
this firewall script</a> which should be installed in /etc/shorewall/firewall

<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.0</h3>
<ul>
<li>Folks who downloaded 1.3.0 from the
links on the download page before 23:40 GMT, 29 May
2002 may have downloaded 1.2.13 rather than 1.3.0.
The "shorewall version" command will tell you which version

<p>The RedHat iptables RPM is compiled with debugging enabled but the

<p>The iptables 1.2.7 release of iptables has made an incompatible
change to the syntax used to specify multiport match rules; as
a consequence, if you install iptables 1.2.7 you must
be running Shorewall 1.3.7a or later or:</p>
<ul>
<li>set MULTIPORT=No
in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf; or </li>
<li>if you are running
Shorewall 1.3.6 you may install
<a
href="http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.6/firewall">
this firewall script</a> in /var/lib/shorewall/firewall
as described above.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="NAT"></a>Problems with RH Kernel 2.4.18-10 and NAT<br>

/etc/shorewall/nat entries of the following form will
result in Shorewall being unable to start:<br>

Error message is:<br>

The solution is to put "no" in the LOCAL column. Kernel
support for LOCAL=yes has never worked properly and 2.4.18-10 has
disabled it. The 2.4.19 kernel contains corrected support under a new
kernel configuraiton option; see <a href="Documentation.htm#NAT">http://www.shorewall.net/Documentation.htm#NAT</a><br>
