From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit d6b6cb1d3e6f78d55c2d4043d77d0d8def3f3b99 ] If there's an existing base chain, we have to allow to change the default policy without indicating the hook information. However, if the chain doesn't exists, we have to enforce the presence of the hook attribute.
