NuFW 1.0.16

This (Linux) program is an extensive firewall that can filter each connection on their rights of the user. This new version has as number, 1.0.16.

This is a security release. The NuFW team has identified a problem that could lead to Denial of Service from legitimate users of the authentication service.

The bug was found in user packet parsing. By sending several carefully badly formatted packets, an authenticated user can cause a denial of service on nuauth <= 1.0.15. The development version, 1.1, is also concerned by the bug, which is corrected on the svn repository.

The NuFW core team recommends users upgrade their nuauth installations.
