Status in iptables package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello. This isn't strictly a bug, but more of an upgrade-request on the iptables package. Normally i wouldn't be inclined to submit such a bug report, but a user on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list encouraged me to submit this anyway [1]. For our production systems, we're running into a kernel race condition bug, for which a workaround has been made available. The fix boils down to iptables having a new flag which it passes down to the kernel, to enable the workaround. However, the version of iptables in Ubuntu (v1.6.1) doesn't support that kernel feature yet. Specifically, it's introduced in this commit on the iptables codebase: https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/?id=8b0da2130b8af3890ef20afb2305f11224bb39ec. The feature we need from that commit is part of the v1.6.2 and newer iptables releases, but it looks like the Bionic, Cosmic, and Disco releases of Ubuntu all include v1.6.1 without that patch, so for now we're going to have to build iptables from source on our production machines. That shouldn't pose any huge issues, but of course, we'd prefer to be able to use the package from package management, or perhaps a backported package from a newer Ubuntu release. So to summarise, this might be an invalid bug report, but consider it a vote to upgrade the packaged version of iptables. If this bug report is entirely inappropriate, then I apologise. 1.
