Subject: bug#405: Iptables standartd issue

Package: iptables
Version: 1.8.2

Hello, friends!

In Devuan 1, Devuan 2, Devuan 3 (and Debian, and Ubuntu) have next 
standard issue with *iptables*!

The current range of values for the *--tcp-option* /iptables/ flag is 
1-255 - this is not correct. The correct range of values should be 
0-254. Please read the following information: 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/tcp-parameters/tcp-parameters.xhtml#tcp-parameters-1 
This negative change in /iptables/ was made approximately 2 years ago 
without making this change public. Please report this issue to the 
/iptables/ developers so that they can set the range of --tcp-option 
values in accordance with the accepted standards for the TCP Protocol.

Please see: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3347

Andrey,

Thanks for this.

However, as iptables is not forked in Devuan and we use the Debian package
directly, we have no way to fix this. You would be better reporting it directly
to Debian's BTS or even iptables upstream.

Thanks.

Mark
