From 90e7d4ab5c8b0c4c2e00e4893977f6aeec0f18f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 22:54:53 +0200 Subject: netfilter: xtables: check for unconditionality of policies This adds a check that iptables's original author Rusty set forth in a FIXME comment. Underflows in iptables are better known as chain policies, and are required to be unconditional or there would be a stochastical chance for the policy rule to be skipped if it does not match. If that were to happen, rule execution would continue in an unexpected spurious fashion.
