 I've got 4.2-Stable on a PentiumII updated just now. I found that with
 these rules ('ipfw list' output):
   00100 allow tcp from any to any established
   65535 deny ip from any to any
 anyone can telnet or ftp into the machine or out of it. Essentially, I
 think 'established' matches packets having the SYNC flag, in addition to
 those having ACK or RST.
 
 May I ask that this bug has its "Severity" increased, because this will
 break many firewalls IMO. A "allow tcp from any to any established" will
 render any later tcp 'deny' rule useless.
