Summary : Tools for managing Linux kernel packet filtering
capabilities.
Description :
The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the
Linux kernel. If you need to set up firewalls and/or IP masquerading,
you should install this package.--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Updated iptables packages that correct a security problem are now available.
The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel.
Under certain conditions, iptables did not properly load the required modules at system startup, which caused the firewall rules to fail to load and protect the system from remote attackers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0986 to this issue.
Users of iptables are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain backported patches correcting these issues.
