Check for the version of the shorewall package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:123 (shorewall). A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of shorewall where a client accepted by MAC address filtering is able to bypass any other rule. If MACLIST_TTL is set to a value greater than 0 or MACLIST_DISPOSITION is set to ACCEPT in shorewall.conf, and a client is positively identified through its MAC address, it bypasses all other policies and rules in place, gaining access to all open services on the firewall. Shorewall 2.0.17 is provided which fixes this issue.
