IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 189 is available for testing

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.
