Description Ian Kumlien 2018-04-10 12:59:03 UTC

Description of problem:
The shipped version of nftables in fedora is too old, and it causes a lot of problems.

(The parser is fickly and much better in later versions)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.7

How reproducible:
use a variable in a variable f.ex. or any number of things that has been fixed since this release

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Crash, coredump

Expected results:
New shiny firewall in place

Additional info:
The current version of nftables is form 20/December 2016 - while the latest release is from 3/March 2018

I think that this is something that should be bumped often... By comparison iptables is from 27/January 2017 (and there is a bug report to bump it to 1.6.2)

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2018-04-15 17:37:38 UTC

This was pushed as part of an update to iptables:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-1c31f1eccd

But there were problems with iptables. I asked if these could be split off that and pushed sooner.
