Such vulnerabilities can also exist on the firewall itself. I do run additional SPI firewalls, but mostly for the case that certain services might run accidentally on some systems (e.g. not controlled by me or not configurable). For IPv6, SPI is the only reasonable way to handle that, for private IPv4 networks, NAT does the same indirectly. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1745743973muell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
