<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>
