From 85967bb46dd1f8f2c49b85a313866c00ac0c9b59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Sun, 29 May 2005 14:15:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
