Description Philip Prindeville 2012-06-16 22:52:15 UTC
Description of problem:

A multicast solicitation is sent as UDP on port 34699 to the SSDP port and site-local address 239.255.255.250.

A response comes back as a unicast to our source address and sort port.

It is not admitted by the rule:

-A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

even though arguably a inbound unicast reply to an outbound multicast request are indeed a "related" pair.


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

iptables-1.4.12-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:

Here's a trace of trying to do UPnP discovery:

16:37:56.642134 IP 192.168.1.25.34699 > 239.255.255.250.ssdp: UDP, length 135

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 20:34:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
