firewalld 0.4.3.2 release

Jul 5, 2016 • Thomas Woerner

The new firewalld version 0.4.3.2 is available as a bug fix only release for version 0.4.3.

The main changes are

Fix regression with unavailable optional commands

When a command is not available, new implementation to run a program raises an unexpected error which is not being handled by the callers. An emulation of the old behaviour has been added to fix this regression.

Revert to individual calls on missing restore commands

If iptables is available but not iptables-restore, then the transaction model was not able to apply firewall rules. With this change, individual calls will be used for missing restore commands. This applies to iptables, ip6tables and also ebtables.

Only ask for authentication once for add and remove options

With the use of the command backend a not authorized user was asked two times to authenticate for a query and later for the add or remove action that are done internally. With sequence options, the user was asked two times the number of options.

New RH-Satellite-6 service

The service has been included finally in the release. It does not need to be added in RHEL now.
