Hai @ all,
what's about the ip_conntrack_ftp BUG in iptables?? The Patch at netfilter.samba.org dosn't work witch 2.4.4 SuSE Kernel (SuSE 7.2)! How can i secure my Linux - Box against this attack??
Get the latest kernel from Hubert's directory at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/. This is the _innofficial_ place for the latest when it comes to the SuSE kernels. The RPMs should install cleanly on a 7.1 or a 7.2 system. If something fails with these kernels, be it in source or in rpm form, it's nothing but bad luck. Since more problems are expected with the 2.4 series kernel, there will be no official kernel update. Instead, it is advised to use a 2.2.19 kernel when security considerations play a major role. Andreas, since you wrote to security@suse.de on Saturday late evening: Do not necessarily expect us to answer _all_ mails on hot, humid and sunny weekends in July.
friendly regards from germany Andreas Wahlert
Thanks,
Roman.
