Bugtraq: NetScreen Brain-deadness...

[ash () DRAGONPAW ORG (Ash)]

Just for random value I will mention a change in the NetScreen line of
firewalls that occured in v1.62 of the firmware.

They disabled the forwarding of non-IP traffic in transparent mode.

Yes, prior to this, if operating as a transparent device, which was
the default and suggested configuration, the device would forward all
non-IP packets such as IPX from trusted to untrusted and such.
