Check the hyperlink for complete details of the problem Cheers John ----- Original Message ----- From: john scroggins To: marc@suse.de Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 12:51 AM Subject: IP Masq question Hi Marc, I read this post and was wondering how this affects the SuSE 6.3 platform, SECURITYFOCUS.COM: MULTIPLE LINUX VENDOR 2.2.X KERNEL IP MASQUERADING VULNERABILITIES "A serious vulnerability exists in the IP Masquerading code present in, but not necessarily limited to, the 2.2.x Linux kernel. Due to poor checking of connections in the kernel code, an attacker can potentially rewrite the UDP masquerading entries, making it possible for UDP packets to be routed back to the internal machine." COMPLETE STORY: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1078 TIA Cheers, John
