Package: amule Version: 2.2.6+debian0-8 Severity: normal
On machines with more than one address, it is sometimes necessary to set the bind address for the local service ports. This feature appears to work correctly. However, this should also change the source address for requests to the servers such that the address used by the servers to connect back to the amule session is the address where the ports are bound. Consider the case where a host has a local and unroutable primary address on eth0. By default, TCP requests from this host will be forwarded through a firewall and give NAT. A second address which is routable is added to the host. The amule bind address is set to the second routable address. Yet when the application makes requests to the servers it will have the NAT address of the firewall instead of the routable address. Changing the source address for TCP connections as the bind address will correct this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages amule depends on: ii amule-common 2.2.6+debian0-8 common files for the rest of aMule ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcrypto++8 5.6.0-6 General purpose cryptographic libr ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-4 GCC support library ii libgeoip1 1.4.7~beta6+dfsg-1 A non-DNS IP-to-country resolver l ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libupnp3 1:1.6.6-5 Portable SDK for UPnP Devices, ver ii libwxbase2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI ii libwxgtk2.8-0 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages amule recommends: ii amule-utils 2.2.6+debian0-8 utilities for aMule (command-line ii unzip 6.0-4 De-archiver for .zip files Versions of packages amule suggests: pn amule-utils-gui <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
