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,
