[Bug 1589576] [NEW] gufw is not working as firewall

 

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Private security bug reported:

I'm a previous user of Gufw in 15.10 and like Gufw. After upgrading to
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I installed gufw with python-gi and it was working
fine, until the recent update of gufw. I've noticed that the new gufw
lost the previous rules and not listening to the traffic even when I
connected my local computers (so suggesting that firewall is not
working). After removal (apt-get remove gufw), ufw can be re-enabled
which then restores the previous rules. I think this may be a new bug
introduced in the current gufw. I may need to do additional tests with
gfw too, but I thought this is worth reporting.

** Affects: gui-ufw
     Importance: Undecided
