Subject: Upgrading iptables firewall on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0
Good day from Singapore,
The following RPM packages are installed on my Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 9.0 virtual machine.
iptables-libs-1.8.7-28.el9.x86_64
iptables-nft-1.8.7-28.el9.x86_64
Is it possible to upgrade iptables firewall to the latest version 1.8.8?
Of course, just download iptables tarball from netfilter.org[1] and
compile it yourself! ;)
besides that it's a terrible idea to randomly overwrite distro files
one should have explained the OP that the actual firewall lives in the
kernel
so this update is pretty pointless unless you have to fix a specific
problem in the userland component
