Description Charles R. Anderson 2008-10-19 17:01:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running a LiveCD, there are no firewall rules configured.  This is a big security risk because there are services listening on network sockets by default.  There really should be a default set of firewall rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables for the LiveCD case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F10-Snap2

Additional info:

Inet sockets that are bound on LiveCD:

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2008-10-21 14:49:20 UTC 
Hmm, apparently we've been doing this all the way since the initial live images for Fedora Core 6 were built.  I'm a little bit wary of changing things such that there's a firewall running with this little time left in the F10 cycle :-/
Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:00:40 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 4 Mads Kiilerich 2009-06-16 18:53:31 UTC 
IIRC I noticed that this has been solved in Fedora 11, probably by fedora-live-base.ks having "firewall --enabled --service=mdns"
