+ <title>Shorewall: Security policy bypass</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability in Shorewall allows clients authenticated by MAC address
+ filtering to bypass all other security rules.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Shorewall is a high level tool for configuring Netfilter, the firewall
+ facility included in the Linux Kernel.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Shorewall fails to enforce security policies if configured with
+ "MACLIST_DISPOSITION" set to "ACCEPT" or "MACLIST_TTL" set to a value
+ greater or equal to 0.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ A client authenticated by MAC address filtering could bypass all
+ security policies, possibly allowing him to gain access to restricted
+ services. The default installation has MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT and
+ MACLIST_TTL=(blank) (equivalent to 0). This can be checked by looking
+ at the settings in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Set "MACLIST_TTL" to "0" and "MACLIST_DISPOSITION" to "REJECT" in the
+ Shorewall configuration file (usually /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf).
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Shorewall users should upgrade to the latest available version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-firewall/shorewall</code>
+ </resolution>
