RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2016:2597 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: firewalld security, bug fix, and enhancement update 2016-11-03 12:11:47 UTC

Description William Brown 2015-05-11 01:42:00 UTC
Description of problem:
firewalld currently makes polices for imaps and smtp available:
/usr/lib/firewalld/services/imaps.xml
/usr/lib/firewalld/services/smtp.xml

However, they don't provide smtps or imap. Both smtps being SSL sockets, and imap support startTLS, so really they are both secure sockets anyway.

I would expect such policies to be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service>
  <short>Mail over SSL (SMTPS)</short>
  <description>This option allows incoming SMTP mail delivery over SSL(SMTPS). If you need to allow remote hosts to connect directly to your machine to deliver mail, enable this option. You do not need to enable this if you collect your mail from your ISP's server by POP3 or IMAP, or if you use a tool such as fetchmail. Note that an improperly configured SMTP server can allow remote machines to use your server to send spam.</description>
  <port protocol="tcp" port="465"/>
</service>


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service>
  <short>IMAP</short>
  <description>The Internet Message Access Protocol over SSL (IMAPs) allows a local client to access email on a remote server in a secure way. If you plan to provide a IMAP over SSL service (e.g. with dovecot), enable this option.</description>
  <port protocol="tcp" port="143"/>
</service>

This also applies to Fedora 21 and above as well.
