Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.5.4-7
Severity: minor

There is a minor race condition in the default iptables rules in
fwstart. Right now it creates the new chain, creates a rule at the start
of INPUT to the new chain, and then puts a rule in the new chain with a
result of RETURN. It should instead, create the chain, add the RETURN
rule, and then add it to INPUT. (Things are done in the proper order for
fwend.)
