Description Klaus Muth 2001-09-07 09:30:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; Nav)

Description of problem:
After reading about the ip_conntrack_ftp exploit I tried to get a new
kernel. I compiled the kernel with the same config, but now the port
forwarding rules do not work: the iptables commands are accepted, the
packets are counted, but there is no forwarding ;/. I dont't know whether
the packets are dropped or whatever.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a firewall with some port forwarding rules
2. Try until all works fine
3. Upgrade the 2.4.2-2 kernel to a 2.4.3-12 kernel
4. The forwarded ports do not work

Packets counted but not forwarded ;/

Comment 1 Klaus Muth 2001-09-20 13:54:01 UTC
This is a UTS-Bug (User too stupid). Portforwarding did not work, because
the server behind the firewall had no route back for the test (somebody
rebooted it).
