modulejail v1.6.1

  • firewall profile (prompted by @teou1's xt_recent report in #16). A
    fourth built-in profile: conservative plus the whole netfilter toolkit
    (roughly 240 modules across iptables/nftables/ipset/IPVS/ebtables
    match, target, and helper families). Netfilter match/target modules autoload
    on demand when a rule first references them, so a firewall host whose full
    rule set is not active when modulejail runs would otherwise get them
    blacklisted and a later rule would fail to load. -p firewall keeps the
    subsystem so no rule can be broken; marginal attack surface is low because
    these modules are reachable only with CAP_NET_ADMIN (rule installation),
    outside the unprivileged-to-root threat model. Profiles are not cumulative,
    so desktop hosts that also firewall can instead add the same set via the new
    examples/whitelist-firewall.conf drop-in (-p desktop --whitelist-file examples/whitelist-firewall.conf). Fixture:
    firewall-profile-keeps-netfilter.sh.
