iptables: missing initialization
| Package(s): | iptables | CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0986 | ||||||||||||
| Created: | November 1, 2004 | Updated: | February 11, 2005 | ||||||||||||
| Description: | Faheem Mitha noticed that the iptables command, an administration tool for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT, did not always load the required modules on its 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. | ||||||||||||||
