Hi Franco

This is the issue when SYN ACK'ing the firewall

Hi Brian,

oh, I saw and did not think this was related. Thanks for mentioning this. I was looking in the wrong place then being deeply buried inside the TCP state machine.

Anybody who wants to fix this now, do:

# opnsense-update -r 15.7.4 && reboot

Official release on Friday.

Cheers,
Franco

When running spoofed ip's you dont get the FIN.

So for development branches, a fresh pull of ports git will do the job? What exactly is changed with the 15.7.4? I can just get that component and rebuild the test images without losing changes to my testing trees.

But then again, i can always do freebsd-update fetch and install on the development machine to get the pacthes anyway right Franco?

src.git needs a bump, not ports. Then, with tools.git, do:

# make clean-source source SETTINGS=latest

(I think you were using latest.)

Ports don't have to be recompiled for this particular fix.
