Package: shorewall6 Version: 4.4.7.4-2 Severity: normal Hello,
I have set up the following basic configuration for shorewall6: r...@pc-vincent:/etc/shorewall6# grep -v '#' zones interfaces hosts policy rules zones: fw firewall - - - net ipv6 - - - loc:net ipv6 - - - interfaces: net eth0 detect dhcp,nosmurfs,tcpflags hosts: loc eth0:<fe80::216:17ff:fe6b:8a4f/128> - policy: $FW all ACCEPT loc all REJECT info net all DROP info all all REJECT info rules: SECTION NEW SMB(ACCEPT) loc $FW SSH(ACCEPT) loc $FW This configuration works but gives the following message: [ 2482.278141] Shorewall:loc2fw:REJECT:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=fe80:0000:0000:0000:0216:17ff:fe6b:8a4f DST=ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00fb LEN=143 TC=0 HOPLIMIT=255 FLOWLBL=0 PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353 LEN=103 I found out that the port 5353 is that of the mDNS service. After adding the rule: mDNS(ACCEPT) loc $FW to the file /etc/shorewall6/rules and restarting, I get the following error message in /var/log/shorewall6-init.log: 18:09:51 Compiling MAC Filtration -- Phase 1... 18:09:51 Compiling /etc/shorewall6/rules... 18:09:51 ..Expanding Macro /usr/share/shorewall/macro.mDNS... The log file doesn't show any error message after that last line and shorewall6 isn't starting. I have the same macro in my shorewall (ipv4) rules file and it works there without any problems. I suspect that the problem is that the macro uses some IPv4 (multicast-)addresses. Can it be that shorewall6 doesn't parse these IPv4 addresses correctly? I think there should be an IPv6 version of the macro mDNS.
