netfilter: nf_ct_sip: fix IPv6 address parsing

2012-08-10T09:53:11+00:00

Within SIP messages IPv6 addresses are enclosed in square brackets in most
cases, with the exception of the "received=" header parameter. Currently
the helper fails to parse enclosed addresses.

This patch:

- changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets
  when required, and accept them when not required but present, as
  recommended by RFC 5118.

- adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square
  brackets since SDP doesn't use them.

With these changes, the SIP helper correctly parses all test messages
from RFC 5118 (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Torture Test Messages
for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)).

netfilter: ctnetlink: add new messages to obtain statistics

2012-06-27T15:28:03+00:00

This patch adds the following messages to ctnetlink:

IPCTNL_MSG_CT_GET_STATS_CPU
IPCTNL_MSG_CT_GET_STATS
IPCTNL_MSG_EXP_GET_STATS_CPU

To display connection tracking system per-cpu and global statistics.

This provides a replacement for the following /proc interfaces:

/proc/net/stat/nf_conntrack
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_count

Pablo says:

====================
This is the second batch of Netfilter updates for net-next. It contains the
kernel changes for the new user-space connection tracking helper
infrastructure.

More details on this infrastructure are provides here:
http://lwn.net/Articles/500196/

Still, I plan to provide some official documentation through the
conntrack-tools user manual on how to setup user-space utilities for this.
So far, it provides two helper in user-space, one for NFSv3 and another for
Oracle/SQLnet/TNS. Yet in my TODO list.

netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure

2012-06-16T13:40:02+00:00

There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead:

* Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code
  in user-space is usually faster.

* Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover,
  we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems.

* Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space
  running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about
  running user-space helpers as a non-root process.

* Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most
  likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be
  accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection
  tracking helpers.

This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of
user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem
`nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure
(nfnetlink_queue).

I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register
ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into
two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence
adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued
to our user-space conntrack helpers.

Basic operation, in a few steps:

1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct':

 nfct helper add ftp inet tcp

 [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ]

2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is
   used to track traffic going to TCP port 21.

For locally generated packets:

 iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

For non-locally generated packets:

 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp

3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under
   doc/helper/conntrackd.conf

 conntrackd

4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd
   should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack':

 conntrack -E expect

    [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp
[DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp

This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the
conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space.

The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information
in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The
kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This
information will be included in the information that is transfered
to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and
ctnetlink.

netfilter: add glue code to integrate nfnetlink_queue and ctnetlink

2012-06-16T13:09:02+00:00

This patch allows you to include the conntrack information together
with the packet that is sent to user-space via NFQUEUE.

Previously, there was no integration between ctnetlink and
nfnetlink_queue. If you wanted to access conntrack information
from your libnetfilter_queue program, you required to query
ctnetlink from user-space to obtain it. Thus, delaying the packet
processing even more.

Including the conntrack information is optional, you can set it
via NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag with the new NFQA_CFG_FLAGS attribute.

netfilter: nf_ct_helper: implement variable length helper private data

2012-06-16T13:08:55+00:00

This patch uses the new variable length conntrack extensions.

Instead of using union nf_conntrack_help that contain all the
helper private data information, we allocate variable length
area to store the private helper data.

This patch includes the modification of all existing helpers.
It also includes a couple of include header to avoid compilation
warnings.

The iwlwifi conflict was resolved by keeping the code added

The MAINTAINERS conflict was merely overlapping changes, one

netfilter: xt_recent: add address masking option

2012-06-07T12:58:42+00:00

The mask option allows you put all address belonging that mask into
the same recent slot. This can be useful in case that recent is used
to detect attacks from the same network segment.

Tested for backward compatibility.
