Description Michael Tremer 2014-03-03 08:55:33 UTC 
All log rules of the new firewall GUI do not have rate limiting. Therefore, it is very easy to generate hundreds of log messages a second which will fill the logs and consume disk space.

This can be used as a DoS attack, so too much logging should be prohibited.
