Notes

Matches all traffic (all protocols, ports, etc.). Note that to provide "connections in one direction with replies" semantics, the kernel connection tracker is still used: this will therefore still not match packets if they are not understood as part of a connection (e.g. some ICMPv6 packets, requests and replies taking different routes, complex protocols with no helper loaded).

This service may indirectly setup a set of other services, if they require kernel modules to be loaded. The following complex services are activated:

Notes

This service must be defined as "server apcupsd accept" on all machines not directly connected to the UPS (i.e. slaves).

Note that the port defined here is not the default port (6666) used if you download and compile APCUPSD, since the default conflicts with IRC and many distributions (like Debian) have changed this to 6544.

You can define port 6544 in APCUPSD, by changing the value of NETPORT in its configuration file, or overwrite this FireHOL service definition using the procedures described in Adding Services in firehol.conf(5).

Notes

The full syntax is:

subcommand custom name svr-proto/ports cli-ports action params

This service is used by FireHOL to allow you create rules for services which do not have a definition.

subcommand, action and params have their usual meanings.

A name must be supplied along with server ports in the form proto/range and client ports which takes only a range.

To define services with the built-in extension mechanism to avoid the need for custom services, see Adding Services in firehol.conf(5).

[Wikipedia][WIKI-dhcp]

Notes

The dhcp service is implemented as stateless rules.

DHCP clients broadcast to the network (src 0.0.0.0 dst 255.255.255.255) to find a DHCP server. If the DHCP service was stateful the iptables connection tracker would not match the packets and deny to send the reply.

Note that this change does not affect the security of either DHCP servers or clients, since only the specific ports are allowed (there is no random port at either the server or the client side).

Note also that the "server dhcp accept" or "client dhcp accept" commands should placed within interfaces that do not have src and / or dst defined (because of the initial broadcast).

You can overcome this problem by placing the DHCP service on a separate interface, without a src or dst but with a policy return. Place this interface before the one that defines the rest of the services.

For example:

interface eth0 dhcp

policy return

server dhcp accept

interface eth0 lan src "$mylan" dst "$myip"

client all accept

For example: interface eth0 dhcp policy return server dhcp accept interface eth0 lan src "$mylan" dst "$myip" client all accept

This service implicitly sets its client or server to ipv4 mode. [WIKI-dhcp]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhcp

[Wikipedia][WIKI-dhcprelay]

Notes

From RFC 1812 section 9.1.2:

In many cases, BOOTP clients and their associated BOOTP server(s) do not reside on the same IP (sub)network. In such cases, a third-party agent is required to transfer BOOTP messages between clients and servers. Such an agent was originally referred to as a BOOTP forwarding agent. However, to avoid confusion with the IP forwarding function of a router, the name BOOTP relay agent has been adopted instead.

For more information about DHCP Relay see section 9.1.2 of RFC 1812 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1812.txt) and section 4 of RFC 1542 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1542.txt) [WIKI-dhcprelay]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol#DHCP_relaying

service: dhcpv6

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
Example:

  server dhcp accept
  client dhcp accept

Service Type:

•
complex

Server Ports:

•
udp/547

Client Ports:

•
udp/546

Links

•
[Wikipedia][WIKI-dhcpv6]

Notes

The dhcp service is implemented as stateless rules. It cannot be stateful as the connection tracker will not match a unicast reply to a broadcast request. Further, if you wish to add src/dst rule parameters, you must account for both the broadcast and link-local network prefixes.

Clients broadcast from a link-local address to the multicast address ff02::1:2 on UDP port 547 to find a server. The server sends a unicast reply back to the client which listens on UDP port 546.

For a FireHOL interface, creating a client will allow sending to port 547 and receiving on port 546. Creating a server allows sending to port 546 and receiving on port 547.

Unlike DHCP for IPv4, the source ports to be used are not defined in DHCPv6 - see section 5.2 of RFC3315 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3315.txt). Some servers are known to make use of this to send from arbitrary ports, so FireHOL does not assume a source port.

This service implicitly sets its client or server to ipv6 mode. [WIKI-dhcpv6]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCPv6

•
Accept from any client port to the server at tcp/4661
•
Accept from any client port to the server at tcp/4662
•
Accept from any client port to the server at udp/4665
•
Accept from any client port to the server at udp/4672
•
Accept from any server port to the client at tcp/4662
•
Accept from any server port to the client at udp/4672

Notes

This service is not needed from 3.0.0. It will do nothing but issue a warning from 3.1.0; it will be removed in 4.0.0.

The linux connection tracker ensures that ICMPv6 errors are marked as RELATED. Since 3.0.0, these are automatially accepted by FireHOL, making a separate command redundant.

service: ipv6mld

IPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery for IPv6

  client ipv6mld accept

Service Type:

•
complex

Server Ports:

•
N/A

Client Ports:

•
N/A

Links

•
[Wikipedia][WIKI-ipv6mld]

Notes

IPv6 uses Multicast Listener Discovery to discover multicast listeners and what they are listening for.

In practice all IPv6 nodes are multicast listeners since multicast is used in the neighbour discovery protocol which replaces ARP in IPv4.

These rules are stateless since reports can happen automatically as well as on query.

Unless muticast snooping is disabled across the network, MLD should be enabled for any clients:

client ipv6mld accept

MLD should also be enabled as a server on any hosts acting as a router:

server ipv6mld accept

The rules should generally not be used to pass packets across a firewall (e.g. in a router definition) unless the firewall is for a bridge.

This service implicitly sets its client or server to ipv6 mode. [WIKI-ipv6mld]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_Listener_Discovery

Client Ports:

Links

•
[Wikipedia][WIKI-ipv6neigh]

Notes

IPv6 uses the Neighbour Discovery Protocol to do automatic configuration of routes and to replace ARP. To allow this functionality the network neighbour and router solicitation/advertisement messages should be enabled on each interface.

These rules are stateless since advertisement can happen automatically as well as on solicitation.

Neighbour discovery (incoming) should always be enabled:

server ipv6neigh accept

Neighbour advertisement (outgoing) should always be enabled:

client ipv6neigh accept

The rules should not be used to pass packets across a firewall (e.g. in a router definition) unless the firewall is for a bridge.

This service implicitly sets its client or server to ipv6 mode. [WIKI-ipv6neigh]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbor_Discovery_Protocol

Direct Hosted (i.e. NETBIOS-less SMB)

This is another NETBIOS Session Service with minor differences with netbios_ssn. It is supported only by Windows 2000 and Windows XP and it offers the advantage of being independent of WINS for name resolution.

It seems that samba supports transparently this protocol on the netbios_ssn ports, so that either direct hosted or traditional SMB can be served simultaneously.

Notes

See also the samba.

Please keep in mind that newer NETBIOS clients prefer to use port 445 (microsoft_ds) for the NETBIOS session service, and when this is not available they fall back to port 139 (netbios_ssn). Versions of samba above 3.x bind automatically to ports 139 and 445.

If you have an older samba version and your policy on an interface or router is DROP, clients trying to access port 445 will have to timeout before falling back to port 139. This timeout can be up to several minutes.

To overcome this problem you can explicitly REJECT the microsoft_ds with a tcp-reset message:

service: nfs

Client Ports:

Links

•
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28protocol%29)

Notes

The NFS service queries the RPC service on the NFS server host to find out the ports nfsd, mountd, lockd and rquotad are listening. Then, according to these ports it sets up rules on all the supported protocols (as reported by RPC) in order the clients to be able to reach the server.

For this reason, the NFS service requires that:

•
the firewall is restarted if the NFS server is restarted
•
the NFS server must be specified on all nfs statements (only if it is not the localhost)

Since NFS queries the remote RPC server, it is required to also be allowed to do so, by allowing the portmap too. Take care that this is allowed by the running firewall when FireHOL tries to query the RPC server. So you might have to setup NFS in two steps: First add the portmap service and activate the firewall, then add the NFS service and restart the firewall.

To avoid this you can setup your NFS server to listen on pre-defined ports, as documented in NFS Howto (http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s06.html#nfs_firewalls). If you do this then you will have to define the the ports using the procedure described in Adding Services in firehol.conf(5).

Notes

The nis service queries the RPC service on the nis server host to find out the ports ypserv and yppasswdd are listening. Then, according to these ports it sets up rules on all the supported protocols (as reported by RPC) in order the clients to be able to reach the server.

For this reason, the nis service requires that:

•
the firewall is restarted if the nis server is restarted
•
the nis server must be specified on all nis statements (only if it is not the localhost)

Since nis queries the remote RPC server, it is required to also be allowed to do so, by allowing the portmap too. Take care that this is allowed by the running firewall when FireHOL tries to query the RPC server. So you might have to setup nis in two steps: First add the portmap service and activate the firewall, then add the nis service and restart the firewall.

This service was added to FireHOL by Carlos Rodrigues (http://sourceforge.net/p/firehol/feature-requests/20/). His comments regarding this implementation, are:

These rules work for client access only!

Pushing changes to slave servers won't work if these rules are active somewhere between the master and its slaves, because it is impossible to predict the ports where yppush will be listening on each push.

Pulling changes directly on the slaves will work, and could be improved performance-wise if these rules are modified to open fypxfrd. This wasn't done because it doesn't make that much sense since pushing changes on the master server is the most common, and recommended, way to replicate maps.

Notes

The samba service automatically sets all the rules for netbios_ns, netbios_dgm, netbios_ssn and microsoft_ds.

Please refer to the notes of the above services for more information.

NETBIOS initiates based on the broadcast address of an interface (request goes to broadcast address) but the server responds from its own IP address. This makes the "server samba accept" statement drop the server reply, because of the way the iptables connection tracker works.

This service definition includes a hack, that allows a Linux samba server to respond correctly in such situations, by allowing new outgoing connections from the well known netbios_ns port to the clients high ports.

However, for clients and routers this hack is not applied because it would open all unprivileged ports to the samba server. The only solution to overcome the problem in such cases (routers or clients) is to build a trust relationship between the samba servers and clients.
