[Bug 484517] [NEW] Firestarter fails to acknowledge blocked connections on other adapters

[delcypher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firestarter

1 )Description: Ubuntu 9.10

2) Firestarter package version: 1.0.3-7ubuntu5 0

 I have 2 interfaces setup on my system (localhost) eth0 & wlan0. In the
firestarter GUI I set it to allow connections from host 192.168.1.100
(adding rule allow incoming) which is a system on my local connection
(eth0). I then tried ping requests and attempted to connect to the ssh
server on my system (localhost).

3) What I expected to happen - The connections should of been allowed as
they came from an IP that I had explicitly allowed.

4) What actually happened - The connections were being blocked by
firestarter (disabling the firewall confirmed this) but were not being
registered as blocked events on the event page in the firestarter GUI.
Firestarter was informing me about blocked connections coming from my
other adapter (wlan0) so I can only assume that firestarter has problems
with multiple adapters.

Even worse though when I removed firestarter (sudo aptitude remove
firestarter) the settings it left (i.e. unable to communicate with
192.168.1.100 on eth0) remained in place until I rebooted. The settings
should really be removed if I remove the package.
