Bug#616687: The webserver is listening on blacklisted ipv6
Package: thttpd
Severity: normal
The thttpd web server appears to be listening for ipv6 traffic even though
the ipv6 kernel module is blacklisted and not loaded.
netstat -a|grep www
tcp6 0 0 [::]:www [::]:* LISTEN
^
This protocol is not supported on this LAN segment
The /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file contains the following entries:
blacklist ipv6
We should not be listening on ipv6 or displaying addresses in ipv6 format
when ipv6 is blacklisted within the kernel.
Mark.
