Fixed In Version: firewalld-0.6.3-9.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.A configuration parameter has been added to `firewalld` to disable zone drifting Previously, the `firewalld` service contained an undocumented behavior known as "zone drifting". RHEL 7.8 removed this behavior because it could have a negative security impact. As a consequence, on hosts that used this behavior to configure a catch-all or fallback zone, `firewalld` denied connections that were previously allowed. This update re-adds the zone drifting behavior, but as a configurable feature. As a result, users can now decide to use zone drifting or disable the behavior for a more secure firewall setup. By default, in RHEL 7.9, the new `AllowZoneDrifting` parameter in the `/etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf` file is set to `yes`. Note that, if the parameter is enabled, `firewalld` logs: ---- WARNING: AllowZoneDrifting is enabled. This is considered an insecure configuration option. It will be removed in a future release. Please consider disabling it now. ----
