Letmein connection limiter allows an arbitrary amount of simultaneous connections

Published Jun 24, 2025 · Updated Jun 24, 2025 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Letmein is an authenticating port knocker. Prior to version 10.2.1, The connection limiter is implemented incorrectly. It allows an arbitrary amount of simultaneously incoming connections (TCP, UDP and Unix socket) for the services letmeind and letmeinfwd. Therefore, the command line option num-connections is not effective and does not limit the number of simultaneously incoming connections. This issue has been patched in version 10.2.1.
