Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

iptables 1.8.5

This release contains the following fixes and enhancements:

xtables-save/xtables-restore:
- Fix parser in `--noflush' mode incorrectly rejecting chain definitions
  and empty lines.
- Fix crash when restoring or dumping while other ruleset changes happen
  in parallel.

iptables-apply:
- Install the script along with `make install'.
- Introduce parameters `-c' (run command) and `-w' (save successfully
  applied rules to file).
- Use `mktemp' instead of `tempfile' for temporary files.

iptables-translate:
- Support `time' match and `NOTRACK' target.
- Fix for special interface names `*', `+' and `eth++'.

ebtables-nft:
- Full among match support, including sets with mixed MAC and MAC+IP
  entries.

extensions:
- connlabel: Numeric labels were rejected if a connlabel.conf existed in
             the system.
- IDLETIMER: Introduce `--alarm' option.

libxtables:
- Introduce xtables_fini() to properly deinit the library and close any
  loaded shared objects.

nfnl_osf:
- Fix lockup after loading the first line from fingerprints file.
- Improve error handling, don't silently exit when deleting a
  non-existing fingerprint.

General:
- Fixes for undefined behaviour.
- Replace a few unsafe calls to strcpy().
- Fix some warnings when compiling with clang.
- Various fixes for valgrind-detected problems such as memory leaks and
  reachable memory at program exit.

See ChangeLog that comes attached to this email for more details.
