Package: net-tools Version: 1.60-23 Severity: normal Tags: upstream ipv6 Hi,
The information reported by netstat can be misleading on a dual-stacked host (ipv4 and ipv6) whith a socket not using IPV6_V6ONLY. For instance, my box is running apache which is happily handling ipv4 traffic, but : $ netstat -nl4 | grep ':80' $ netstat -nl | grep ':80' tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN $ This is a problem because one may rely on this output to restrict services to a particular protocol. Proposed fixes : - netstat -nl4 should list ipv6 sockets not using IPV6_V6ONLY. - ipv6 sockets not using IPV6_V6ONLY should be differenciated in the output of netstat. I'll be glad to provide more info, try to implement a fix if my solutions are acceptable, and to test a fixed version.
