Subject: DOS issue in Astaro Version 7 packet filter reporting, POSSIBLE
|
I have details about the DOS issue on my blog with links to the Astaro
forums.
http://www.hescominsoon.com/archives/773
Version affected:
ALL Version 7 systems.
This is easily reproducible. Just setup a BT client behind the astaro
and do not setup a packetfilter and NAT rule for the BT traffic. This
way all the incoming return traffic is blocked. Go download something
like the Centos DVD torrent. Some machine(like mine) are easy to bring
down. Others take a time longer. The pfilter-repoter.pl file will peg
the cpu for an exorbitant amount of time. Before 7.006 it would take
the machine offline. 7.006 partially mitigates in my testing but not fully.
For the pop3 Proxy if you set an attachment size limit, any attachments
over that size are NOT scanned and allowed to pass through instead of
being quarantined.
These are not critical events but are issues nonetheless.
