Why are they being stopped?   What is your ruleset?

Maybe, but let's not assume that's the solution until we've clearly identified 
the problem.

Have you attempted installing this patch and had a problem?   Or are you just

Tell us what rules you have now and we may be able to suggest what to change.   
We can't tell you what rules you should be using because we don;t know the 
rest of your protocol requirements or your network configuration.

No problem - it's not Linux we need details of - it's your network and your 
firewall rules.
