Re: -bsd@ stuff to do during DebConf?



Hi again,

This bug may be a good candidate for porter NMU (delayed queue?) :
https://bugs.debian.org/738942

We need that applied for jessie so that we can turn off automatic IPv6
autoconf, getting back to normal upstream FreeBSD behaviour (somewhat
addressing long-standing security bugs #684072 and #690986).

The wheezy installer already wrote the appropriate
/etc/network/interfaces stanza to turn it on where needed, so we just
need to fix this bug in ifupdown.

OpenBSD made a similar change recently - an interface should not get an
IPv6 address, just because it was brought up - quite often it is an
unexpected security risk.

Regards,
