Details

Enhanced iptables packages which add support for fragmented IPv6 packets
are now available.

The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the
Linux kernel.

These updated iptables packages add support to iptables for fragmented IPv6
packets. Previous to this update, there was no way to filter fragmented
IPv6 packets.

Users of iptables are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add this enhancement.
