Bug Description

Binary package hint: iptables

I get this error when executing on edgy with 1.3.5 iptables :

iptables -A C1 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

The command was generated using guarddog firewall admin package

I downloaded the source version of 1.3.5 and compiled it. With help from #iptables IRC I tracked down the problem to the use of stack-protection in the 4.1 compiler.

1.3.5 shared build with stack protection on : unknown arg
 1.3.5 static build with stack protection : no problem
 1.3.5 shared build without stack protecton (using -fno-stack-protector) : no problem
 1.3.5.static build without stack protection : no problem
