Bug#709616: floods the network with pause packets

2013-11-09 Thread Florian Gleixner
I have the same issue with opensuse 12.3 kernel 3.7.10-1.16. I can
trigger it: whenever i mount a filesystem via nfs (i use nfs4) and try
to copy there a large amount of data (1.5 GB), the complete network gets
a DOS.
NICs that communicate:
Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-V (rev 04)
Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04)

If i draw the cable and use the wireless card, all works.

Bug#694534: sec: bad defaults

2012-11-27 Thread Florian Gleixner
Source: sec
Version: 2.5.3-1+nmu1
Severity: critical

Starting sec with /etc/default/sec untouched causes sec to write to
syslog for example every time a rule creates a context. This may cause
another context to get created. So sec wrote > 400GB syslog in 24h at my
system making it unusable.

From the sec.pl manpage:

"Warning: be careful with this option if you use SEC  for  monitoring
syslog logfiles, because it might create message loops (SEC log messages
are written to SEC input files that trigger new log messages)."

Resolution: delete the "syslog=daemon" in /etc/default/sec
