Hi all,
Today I received from red hat this
advisory:
And it addresses upgrade the actual kernel to the
new version 2.4.9-31. I can't simply upgrade my kernel with an rpm cause my
kernel is patched with pptp stuff.
The advisory says that, "depending of the firewall
ruleset" someone could make an inbound connection. Please, read this
part:
"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." Does any of you could say wich are these rulesets?
Oh, and what are these irc dcc connections? (i don't know if it exist in my
network).
Thank you,
