Description

Iptables before 1.2.11, under certain conditions, does not properly load the required modules at system startup, which causes the firewall rules to fail to load and protect the system from remote attackers.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
