netfilter: ctnetlink: use netlink policy range checks

2026-04-18T08:31:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8f15b5071b4548b0aafc03b366eb45c9c6566704 ]

Replace manual range and mask validations with netlink policy
annotations in ctnetlink code paths, so that the netlink core rejects
invalid values early and can generate extack errors.

- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE: reject values > TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2 at
  policy level, removing the manual >= TCP_CONNTRACK_MAX check.
- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_WSCALE_ORIGINAL/REPLY: reject values > TCP_MAX_WSCALE
  (14). The normal TCP option parsing path already clamps to this value,
  but the ctnetlink path accepted 0-255, causing undefined behavior when
  used as a u32 shift count.
- CTA_FILTER_ORIG_FLAGS/REPLY_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with
  CTA_FILTER_F_ALL, removing the manual mask checks.
- CTA_EXPECT_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with NF_CT_EXPECT_MASK, adding
  a new mask define grouping all valid expect flags.

Extracted from a broader nf-next patch by Florian Westphal, scoped to
ctnetlink for the fixes tree.

netfilter: nf_tables: fix table flag updates

2023-11-28T16:55:02+00:00

commit 179d9ba5559a756f4322583388b3213fe4e391b0 upstream.

The dormant flag need to be updated from the preparation phase,
otherwise, two consecutive requests to dorm a table in the same batch
might try to remove the same hooks twice, resulting in the following
warning:

 hook not found, pf 3 num 0
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 334 at net/netfilter/core.c:480 __nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480

 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net
 RIP: 0010:__nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480

This patch is a partial revert of 0ce7cf4127f1 ("netfilter: nftables:
update table flags from the commit phase") to restore the previous
behaviour.

However, there is still another problem: A batch containing a series of
dorm-wakeup-dorm table and vice-versa also trigger the warning above
since hook unregistration happens from the preparation phase, while hook
registration occurs from the commit phase.

To fix this problem, this patch adds two internal flags to annotate the
original dormant flag status which are __NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_DORMANT and
__NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_AWAKEN, to restore it from the abort path.

The __NFT_TABLE_F_UPDATE bitmask allows to handle the dormant flag update
with one single transaction.

netfilter: nft_exthdr: Support SCTP chunks

2023-10-10T19:53:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 133dc203d77dff617d9c4673973ef3859be2c476 ]

Chunks are SCTP header extensions similar in implementation to IPv6
extension headers or TCP options. Reusing exthdr expression to find and
extract field values from them is therefore pretty straightforward.

For now, this supports extracting data from chunks at a fixed offset
(and length) only - chunks themselves are an extensible data structure;
in order to make all fields available, a nested extension search is
needed.

netfilter: conntrack: unify established states for SCTP paths

2023-02-01T07:23:27+00:00

commit a44b7651489f26271ac784b70895e8a85d0cebf4 upstream.

An SCTP endpoint can start an association through a path and tear it
down over another one. That means the initial path will not see the
shutdown sequence, and the conntrack entry will remain in ESTABLISHED
state for 5 days.

By merging the HEARTBEAT_ACKED and ESTABLISHED states into one
ESTABLISHED state, there remains no difference between a primary or
secondary path. The timeout for the merged ESTABLISHED state is set to
210 seconds (hb_interval * max_path_retrans + rto_max). So, even if a
path doesn't see the shutdown sequence, it will expire in a reasonable
amount of time.

With this change in place, there is now more than one state from which
we can transition to ESTABLISHED, COOKIE_ECHOED and HEARTBEAT_SENT, so
handle the setting of ASSURED bit whenever a state change has happened
and the new state is ESTABLISHED. Removed the check for dir==REPLY since
the transition to ESTABLISHED can happen only in the reply direction.

netfilter: xtables: Bring SPDX identifier back

[ Upstream commit 20646f5b1e798bcc20044ae90ac3702f177bf254 ]

Commit e2be04c7f995 ("License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to
uapi header files with a license") added the correct SPDX identifier to
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_IDLETIMER.h.

A subsequent commit removed it for no reason and reintroduced the UAPI
license incorrectness as the file is now missing the UAPI exception
again.

Add it back and remove the GPLv2 boilerplate while at it.

netfilter: ctnetlink: disable helper autoassign

2022-02-16T11:54:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit d1ca60efc53d665cf89ed847a14a510a81770b81 ]

When userspace, e.g. conntrackd, inserts an entry with a specified helper,
its possible that the helper is lost immediately after its added:

ctnetlink_create_conntrack
  -> nf_ct_helper_ext_add + assign helper
    -> ctnetlink_setup_nat
      -> ctnetlink_parse_nat_setup
         -> parse_nat_setup -> nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup
	                       -> nf_nat_setup_info
                                 -> nf_conntrack_alter_reply
                                   -> __nf_ct_try_assign_helper

... and __nf_ct_try_assign_helper will zero the helper again.

Set IPS_HELPER bit to bypass auto-assign logic, its unwanted, just like
when helper is assigned via ruleset.

Dropped old 'not strictly necessary' comment, it referred to use of
rcu_assign_pointer() before it got replaced by RCU_INIT_POINTER().

NB: Fixes tag intentionally incorrect, this extends the referenced commit,
but this change won't build without IPS_HELPER introduced there.
