IPFire 2.11 - Core Update 62 released
IPFire is a Linux distribution that focusses on easy setup, good handling and high level of security. It is operated via an intuitive web-based interface which offers many configuration options for beginning and experienced system administrators. IPFire is maintained by developers who are concerned about security and who update the product regularly to keep it secure. IPFire ships with a custom package manager called Pakfire and the system can be expanded with various add-ons.
We recommend that you update your IPFire installations as soon as possible if you are using the outgoing firewall in mode 1.
Fixed: Outgoing firewall permits hosts on BLUE to access the internet
In earlier releases, it was possible for hosts on the BLUE network to access resources on the internet which are allowed by the outgoing firewall although no permission has been granted to the host (blue access). This is a moderate risk.
The connection overview on the web user interface now shows return paths. This means you are now able to see which host on the local and NATted network opened the connections.
php has been update to version 5.3.16, which fixes a number of security problems and various bugs of other types as well.
IPFire comes now with a script which lets you create VLAN interfaces for GREEN, BLUE and/or ORANGE. However, it is only possible to configure this from the command line. Check /var/ipfire/ethernet/vlans for the configuration.
There are also updates to the usual set of databases: GeoIP, USB modeswitch, and PCI/USB devices.
