IPFire 2.29 Core Update 189 represents a notable enhancement, featuring a security fix, an updated graph for the IPS, and various package updates. This update represents one of the most significant releases to date, delivering a multitude of new firmware files for a range of hardware.

The update serves as a security measure aimed at preventing the IPS process from crashing, thereby safeguarding services operating on the firewall from exposure to the Internet. Improvements have been implemented to enhance the handling of the IPS. These include the introduction of a watcher process to restart the IPS in the event of unexpected crashes, the ability to bypass whitelisted traffic in the iptables ruleset, and the filtering of IPsec traffic. The IPS page now presents IPS throughput categorized into three distinct areas: scanned bandwidth, whitelisted traffic, and bypassed traffic. The Linux firmware has been updated to version 20240811, featuring a marginally increased download size.

IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 189 is now available for testing. It includes a security fix, a new graph for the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and numerous package changes.

The upgrade addresses a security flaw in the IPS that might open the firewall and expose services operating on it to the internet. To address this, changes have been made to the IPS's handling, such as a watcher process that restarts it in the event of an unexpected crash, the ability to skip whitelisted traffic in the iptables ruleset, and IPsec traffic filtering. The update also adds a new graph on the IPS page that divides IPS throughput into three categories: scanned bandwidth, whitelisted traffic, and bypass traffic. Linux Firmware version 20240811 includes updates to various firmware for WLAN and Ethernet interfaces, RAID controllers, and other hardware.

CSF, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, login/intrusion detection, and security program for Linux servers, has been updated. The scripts include a simple SPI iptables firewall script, a daemon process that checks for login authentication failures across several systems, and configurable login failures with distinct log files and regular expression matching. It also features UI connection with cPanel, DirectAdmin, and Webmin, as well as quick version upgrades.

The latest version removes the session IP match check from the DA login and includes an example spamassassin temp file regex.

IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 188 is a big release that includes several changes for users. It features package updates, a new kernel, performance improvements for Quality of Service, better handling of DHCP leases, an enhanced build system, a new version of OpenSSL, and solutions for Intel's most recent CPU vulnerabilities. The version also includes a new method for getting DHCP leases into DNS, allowing devices to be reached by their names rather than a random IP address.

The IPFire build system has been upgraded, resulting in stronger protection from the build system to the host system and vice versa. This increased isolation allows IPFire to be compiled for all architectures on the same machine without causing any negative effects. The version also includes bug fixes, stability and security improvements, as well as a new kernel based on Linux 6.6.47.
