A new development version of the Debian-based Gibraltar Firewall has been released. From the changelog: "This is a major update with some new features, but mostly default configuration updates. Updated to kernel 2.4.22, which again fixes some security issues and has some new features too: it already has the crypto patch and Alcatel USB speedtouch support (thus the Gibraltar-specific patches for these two features are no longer needed). The netfilter code has been updated to 2.4.23-preX, because it has some optimizations for ICMP floods, and the patch for tuning connection tracking parameters is back in."
