netfilter: synproxy: fix BUG_ON triggered by corrupt TCP packets

2013-09-30T10:44:38+00:00

TCP packets hitting the SYN proxy through the SYNPROXY target are not
validated by TCP conntrack. When th->doff is below 5, an underflow happens
when calculating the options length, causing skb_header_pointer() to
return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON().

Handle this case gracefully by checking for NULL instead of using BUG_ON().

netfilter: nf_nat_proto_icmpv6:: fix wrong comparison in icmpv6_manip_pkt

2013-09-13T09:58:48+00:00

In commit 58a317f1 (netfilter: ipv6: add IPv6 NAT support), icmpv6_manip_pkt
was added with an incorrect comparison of ICMP codes to types.  This causes
problems when using NAT rules with the --random option.  Correct the
comparison.

This closes netfilter bugzilla #851, reported by Alexander Neumann.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "Noteworthy changes this time around:

   1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko.

   2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to
      reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs.  Also, when
      both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer
      the later because there are broken middleware devices which
      scramble the timestamp.

      From Yuchung Cheng.

   3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel
      memory consumed to queue up unsend user data.  From Eric Dumazet.

   4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from
      Jiri Pirko.

   5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from
      Stefan Tomanek.

   6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker.

   7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support,
      from Daniel Borkmann.

   8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

   9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

  10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.

  11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy.

  12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use
      this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames.  Furthermore, add
      a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when
      available.  From Eric Dumazet.

  13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang"

netfilter: SYNPROXY: let unrelated packets continue

2013-09-04T09:44:23+00:00

Packets reaching SYNPROXY were default dropped, as they were most
likely invalid (given the recommended state matching).  This
patch, changes SYNPROXY target to let packets, not consumed,
continue being processed by the stack.

This will be more in line other target modules. As it will allow
more flexible configurations of handling, logging or matching on
packets in INVALID states.

netfilter: more strict TCP flag matching in SYNPROXY

2013-09-04T09:43:11+00:00

Its seems Patrick missed to incoorporate some of my requested changes
during review v2 of SYNPROXY netfilter module.

Which were, to avoid SYN+ACK packets to enter the path, meant for the
ACK packet from the client (from the 3WHS).

Further there were a bug in ip6t_SYNPROXY.c, for matching SYN packets
that didn't exclude the ACK flag.

Go a step further with SYN packet/flag matching by excluding flags
ACK+FIN+RST, in both IPv4 and IPv6 modules.

The intented usage of SYNPROXY is as follows:
(gracefully describing usage in commit)

 iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 --syn -j NOTRACK
 iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state UNTRACKED,INVALID \
         -j SYNPROXY --sack-perm --timestamp --mss 1480 --wscale 7 --ecn

 echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose

This does filter SYN flags early, for packets in the UNTRACKED state,
but packets in the INVALID state with other TCP flags could still
reach the module, thus this stricter flag matching is still needed.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: make sequence number adjustments usuable without NAT

2013-08-27T22:26:48+00:00

Split out sequence number adjustments from NAT and move them to the conntrack
core to make them usable for SYN proxying. The sequence number adjustment
information is moved to a seperate extend. The extend is added to new
conntracks when a NAT mapping is set up for a connection using a helper.

As a side effect, this saves 24 bytes per connection with NAT in the common
case that a connection does not have a helper assigned.

netfilter: ip[6]t_REJECT: tcp-reset using wrong MAC source if bridged

2013-08-27T22:13:12+00:00

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT
with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address
of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended
destination.  This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet
as it appears to be spoofed.  Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and
setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet.

This closes netfilter bugzilla #531.
