Bug 6894 – iptables 1.2.7 -p icmp misbehaviour

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ronald Moesbergen 2002-08-22 15:19:04 UTC]

Hi,

With iptables 1.2.7 if you specify -p icmp -j ACCEPT, no icmp traffic is 
allowed through. If you list the rules with iptables -L you'll see that only 
icmp type 'echo-reply' is allowed and all other icmp traffic is blocked. I've 
seached the netfilter mailing list and found a patch for this problem. Can 
someone add this patch to the ebuild?

Thanks,
Ronald.

I have masked iptables-1.2.7 as it contains bugs confirmed by the authors of
iptables. A new version, 1.2.7a, is to be released ASAP. I will repoen these
bugs and make sure the errors reported doesn't exist in the new version before
unmasking 1.2.7a.

I've just commited iptables 1.2.7a. Please test this version and see if upstream
has fixed your problems. It's currently masked, I need to know if this version
works as expected before I can unmask.

I've checked the new version and it has solved the problem. Works great now! 
 
Thanks, 
Ronald.
