Security Advisory - RHSA-2002:028-13

Summary:
Updated 2.4 kernel available
The Linux Netfilter team has found a problem in the "IRC connection
tracking" component of the firewall within the linux kernel. This problem
affects Red Hat Linux versions 7.1 and 7.2.
Description:
The Linux Netfilter team has found a problem in the IRC connection
tracking component of the firewall within the linux kernel. This component
is distributed with kernels in Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2, although it is
not used in default installations.
The problem consists of an excessively broad netmask setting which is
applied to check if an "IRC DCC" connection through a masquerading firewall
should be allowed. This results in unwanted ports being opened on the
firewall, which could, depending on the firewall filter ruleset, allow
inbound connections.
