Detail
| Faheem Mitha noticed that the iptables command, an administration tool for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT, did not always load the required modules on it own as it was supposed to. This could lead to firewall rules not being loaded on system startup. This caused a failure in connection with rules provided by lokkit at least. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.6a-5.0woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.11-4. We recommend that you upgrade your iptables package. |

| 11351 | iptables Module Loading Failure iptables contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass firewall rules. The issue is triggered when iptables fails to load required modules in iptables.c and ip6tables.c under certain configurations. It is possible that the flaw may prohibit the firewall rules from being applied without notifying the victim of the problem resulting in a loss of integrity. |
