Yes, debian-security@lists.debian.org would be more appropriate in this case.
Adding that to Cc. Full quote below.

Do you have a stray 'net.ipv4.ip_forward=0' or similar in
/etc/sysctl{.conf,.d}?

We also saw one instance of this problem, because the sysctls were
reloaded during the update and so forwarding became disabled. Restarting
shorewall of course fixes this by setting ip_forward back to 1.

All our other machines without ip_forward=0 in the configuration were
unaffected.

Do you think it is a regression in recent upload of procps in
oldstable-security ?
