Package: kernel-source-2.6.8 Version: 2.6.8-16 Severity: important Tags: patch
After 25 days, the jiffies overflow and ipt_recent do not work anymore. If ipt_recent is used with a '-j DROP' rule 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 (and patch): 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) Versions of packages kernel-source-2.6.8 depends on: ii binutils 2.15-6 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.2-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
