[Whonix-devel] Bug#832911: broken systemd dependencies may result in firewall not being load early enough

[Patrick Schleizer]

Package: firewalld
Severity: grave

Tags: security

Dear maintainer,

the systemd dependencies in firewalld.service are broken. It leads to a
systemd ordering cycle. And systemd's automatic breaking of the chain
might result in the firewall not being load early enough.
