Has the iptables security patch been vetted?
I'm sure you've run across this one:
http://netfilter.samba.org/security-fix/
I'd like to know how official this patch is, ie how well checked out? I'd hardly want to cure one problem and create another. And I'm uncomfortable with it at first glance: I'd have to find figure out why it is returning immediate success at that point, or rather prove to myself that it is just skipping making the bad table entries.

Hi Dale,
The preferred patch is available, and has been tested (several
new testsuite tests now exist) and submitted to Linus (et. al):
http://netfilter.filewatcher.org/security-fix/ftp-security2.patch
http://netfilter.samba.org/security-fix/ftp-security2.patch
http://netfilter.gnumonks.org/security-fix/ftp-security2.patch
Hope that helps,
Rusty.
