Package: kernel-source-2.4.27 Severity: important
After 250 days, the jiffies overflow and ipt_recent do not work anymore. If ipt_recent is used with a '-j DROP' then backlisted IPs are blacklisted forever, ignoring the --seconds option, so that you could be kicked out of your server. The only way to fix the problem is to reboot the server :-( For more info on this problem please see this 2.6.x report (maybe the patch could be applied to 2.4.27 too ?): http://patchwork.netfilter.org/netfilter-devel/patch.pl?id=2587 Cheers, Ludovic. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
