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):

Cheers,
Ludovic.
