An iptables based firewall for systems running the Linux 2.4 or later kernel. Very flexible configuration allows the firewall to be used in a wide variety of firewall/gateway/router and VPN environments.   A bug that was supposedly fixed in Shorewall 3.4.4 was not fixed. Furthermore, the bug is present as far back as 3.2.6.  If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=No, then PREROUTING and OUTPUT marking rules are behaving as if TC_EXPERT=Yes was specified in shorewall.conf. In other words, these rules are being applied even if the connection has been marked as being associated with a particular ISP.  The symptoms in this user's case were that requests through ISP1 that were port-forwarded to an SMTP server were being replied through ISP2. The reason was that there was a tcrule which selected ISP2 for all connections from the SMTP server.  Errata patches as follows:  http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.2/shorewall-3.2.10/errata/patches/Shorewall/patch-3.2.10-2.diff http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.4/shorewall-3.4.6/errata/patches/Shorewall/patch-3.4.6-1.diff http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/4.0/shorewall-4.0.2/errata/patches/Shorewall-shell/patch-shell-4.0.2-2.diff  The 3.2.10 patch applies to all 3.2 releases from at least 3.2.6 onward and to 3.4 releases 3.4.0-3.4.3 (with offset). The 3.4.6 patch will also work on 3.4.4 and 3.4.5 (again, with possible offset).  It is also possible to work around the problem by adding these two rules at the beginning of your tcrules file:  CONTINUE:P      0.0.0.0/0       0.0.0.0/0       -       -       -       - !0 CONTINUE        $FW             0.0.0.0/0       -       -       -       - !0

(InfoWorld) - SymantecÂ has delayed the release of its first security suite for Windows Mobile devices. Early last week, the company had said it would unveil the software on May 29, but on Tuesday Symantec said that a consumer version of the product, called Norton Mobile Security for Smartphones, will not be launched until as late as December of this year. "After some review, we've decided to integrate this product into the cycle of our 2008 Norton product line launching in the fall timeframe," a company spokesman said Tuesday in an e-mail message. A corresponding enterprise product, called Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0, will be available in June, Symantec said. Although the company did not offer a firm date for this release, a likely target would be the week of June 12, when the company is hosting its annual Symantec Vision conference in Las Vegas. A public beta of the software will be available on Symantec's Web site "in the coming days," the spokesman said. Symantec already sells aÂ suite for phonesÂ based on the Symbian operating system, as well as antivirus software for Windows Mobile but these new products are expected to offer a much broader range of security features. The new Windows Mobile software will include antivirus, antispam, firewall, and data encryption capabilities, to keep data secure, even if the smartphone is lost. Symantec will also sell an optional VPN (virtual private network) component for users who want to securely connect with their corporate servers. The enterprise product will have advanced IT administration and auditing features. For example, administrators could wipe data off the phones remotely, or check an audit log to see everything that was done with the device after it was lost. Administrators will also be able to lock down certain mobile phone features, making them unavailable to users. Â

The cure for wobbly Wi-Fi? Review Devolo's first HomePlug AV powerline Ethernet adaptor, the dLAN 200 AVdesk, wasn't a unit that plugs straight into a mains power socket, unlike Netgear's HDX101, which I reviewed last week and, for that matter, UK vendor Solwise's 200Mbps PL-200AV product. But while the HDX101 and the Solwise use much the same form-factor, they're based on different technologies.â¦

It's ZoneAlarm...but it's a router. You can't download it, but it's a firewall with the ZA brand on it.  What's going on? It's not really the ZoneAlarm we've come to know, but instead, a perimeter security device plus wireless router from CheckPoint that's being marketed, for the first time in that company's history, to the consumer. For $199, it had better make a pretty strong case.

(InfoWorld) - Enterprises using the network-based firewall offered by Verizon Business will now be able to control it much as they would a firewall on their own networks. The global business services unit of Verizon Communications will let customers go outside the standard templates it has offered so far and tune firewall features to meet their specific needs. The company was set to announce the change on Monday at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. As business operations spread around the world through outsourcing and mobile work, the line between the inside and outside of a corporate network becomes more complicated. For U.S.-based organizations, Verizon Business sells the Secure Gateway Network-based Firewall as an alternative to IT departments installing and maintaining their own firewalls. The service runs on modules in Cisco routers in Verizon's network core. Since it rolled out the service about 18 months ago, the carrier has given customers a choice of templates for what they want the firewall to do. For example, one template might allow only e-mail packets to come in from the Internet. But the templates don't fit every enterprise need, said Eric Sorensen, senior group manager of secure gateway services at Verizon Business. For example, an automaker that gets parts from a third party may want to let nonemployees onto its servers, but only those logging in from a certain factory and using a particular application, Sorensen said. With the Secure Gateway Network-based Firewall (custom), an IT administrator can set that kind of rule, he said. The service includes a Web-based interface for making changes in real time. The standard edition with templates is still available. Most enterprises have balked at network-based firewalls because they don't want to give up granular control over their security, said Gartner Inc. analyst Alex Winogradoff. Verizon's new hands-on feature could help break down that resistance, he said. Handing off security to service providers follows the trend of enterprises letting carriers provide and manage their networks, Winogradoff said. Keeping firewalls in many locations up to date is not easy, he said. "It's a chore that is not part of the core business that enterprises want to be in," Winogradoff said. One thing that might worry enterprises about the network-based firewall is control over periodic updates to the underlying software. An IT manager worried about a new version of software would want to be able to keep using the older version until the problem was solved, Winogradoff said. The Secure Gateway Firewall is sold as a feature on top of a Secure Gateway port. A 1.5MbpsÂ port costs an average of $200 to start and $1,000 per month. The custom firewall option would cost $140 per month. Verizon Business hopes to offer the service to customers based outside the U.S. later this year. Also at RSA, Verizon Business will announce it is extending its denial-of-service protection system to Europe. Verizon DoS Defense Mitigation, which identifies and blocks attacks that use massive amounts of incoming traffic, is now available in 11 European countries, including France, Germany, Spain and the U.K., the company said. It plans rollouts in Canada, Latin America and Asia later this year.
