ip_masq_ftp in 2.2.19

2001-04-17 Thread Matthias Andree
ip_masq_ftp does case sensitive comparisons of FTP commands when snooping the control connection, and may thus miss legitimate PORT/PASV negotiation. The culprit is the use of safe_mem_eq2 to match on the commands, it catches them in either all-caps or all-lower-case (PASV, pasv), but not in

Processes, most easily mozilla, get stuck in the "D" state in 2.4.4-pre4. I don't believe this was fixed in pre2 but now it happens again. Also, just a minor error, but 2.4.4-pre4 modules are put in the 2.4.3 directory. The version number was probably accidentally left the same.
