Please unblock arno-iptable-firewall 1.9.2.k-4
Dear release team,
thanks for having unblocked arno-iptables-firewall 1.9.2.k-3 with a fix
for better IPv6 support. However, that fix also had negative side
effects. I have uploaded 1.9.2.k-4 to unstable that adds two patches to
fix two more IPv6 related issues that are jointly documented in #596170.
http://bugs.debian.org/596170
The new patches are available here:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/arno-iptables-firewall/1.9.2.k-4/default_ipv4v6_config
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/arno-iptables-firewall/1.9.2.k-4/purge_ipv4v6_rules_upon_restart
Other than adding these patches there have been no changes to the
package. The changelog is:
* Add patch to unify the IPv4 and IPv6 default setup to allow outgoing
traffic and all incoming traffic on trusted and loopback interfaces.
This patch also relaxes the rigorous blocking of any IPv6 traffic that was
introduced by 1.9.2.k-3, and caused applications, like wxmaxima, relying on
local IPv6 connection to be broken (Closes: #596170).
* Add patch to prevent IPv6 rule accumulation upon firewall restart. This
patch supplements the default configuration patch and is also documented
in #596170.
I'd be glad if you could allow the version to transition into squeeze.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
