Bug Description
Binary package hint: ufw
Due to the fixes for bug #427356, several network aware daemons are now started before ufw. This provides a small window where network daemons are running without a firewall. This constitutes a security risk (although small) for people who enable the firewall and expect its protection (eg in hostile wireless networks). This can be fixed with an upstart job.
