netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix endless loop

2008-07-09T22:06:12Z

When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy. Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection ourselves to avoid this.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fixing to check the lower bound of valid ACK

2008-06-30T19:41:30Z

Lost connections was reported by Thomas Bätzler (running 2.6.25 kernel) on the netfilter mailing list (see the thread "Weird nat/conntrack Problem with PASV FTP upload"). He provided tcpdump recordings which helped to find a long lingering bug in conntrack. In TCP connection tracking, checking the lower bound of valid ACK could lead to mark valid packets as INVALID because: - We have got a "higher or equal" inequality, but the test checked the "higher" condition only; fixed. - If the packet contains a SACK option, it could occur that the ACK value was before the left edge of our (S)ACK "window": if a previous packet from the other party intersected the right edge of the window of the receiver, we could move forward the window parameters beyond accepting a valid ack. Therefore in this patch we check the rightmost SACK edge instead of the ACK value in the lower bound of valid (S)ACK test.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix module unload crash

2008-06-17T22:52:32Z

The H.245 helper is not registered/unregistered, but assigned to connections manually from the Q.931 helper. This means on unload existing expectations and connections using the helper are not cleaned up, leading to the following oops on module unload: CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c00a6828, epc == 802224dc, ra == 801d4e7c Oops[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 00000000 00000000 00000004 c00a67f0 $ 4 : 802a5ad0 81657e00 00000000 00000000 $ 8 : 00000008 801461c8 00000000 80570050 $12 : 819b0280 819b04b0 00000006 00000000 $16 : 802a5a60 80000000 80b46000 80321010 $20 : 00000000 00000004 802a5ad0 00000001 $24 : 00000000 802257a8 $28 : 802a4000 802a59e8 00000004 801d4e7c Hi : 0000000b Lo : 00506320 epc : 802224dc ip_conntrack_help+0x38/0x74 Tainted: P ra : 801d4e7c nf_iterate+0xbc/0x130 Status: 1000f403 KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 00800008 BadVA : c00a6828 PrId : 00019374 Modules linked in: ip_nat_pptp ip_conntrack_pptp ath_pktlog wlan_acl wlan_wep wlan_tkip wlan_ccmp wlan_xauth ath_pci ath_dev ath_dfs ath_rate_atheros wlan ath_hal ip_nat_tftp ip_conntrack_tftp ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_ftp pppoe ppp_async ppp_deflate ppp_mppe pppox ppp_generic slhc Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo=802a4000, task=802a6000) Stack : 801e7d98 00000004 802a5a60 80000000 801d4e7c 801d4e7c 802a5ad0 00000004 00000000 00000000 801e7d98 00000000 00000004 802a5ad0 00000000 00000010 801e7d98 80b46000 802a5a60 80320000 80000000 801d4f8c 802a5b00 00000002 80063834 00000000 80b46000 802a5a60 801e7d98 80000000 802ba854 00000000 81a02180 80b7e260 81a021b0 819b0000 819b0000 80570056 00000000 00000001 ...

The missing l3num initialization is enough for this, this patch changes it to use AF_UNSPEC to make it more explicit though.

netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races

Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races: - When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in a RCU read side - When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement - When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315 and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ctnetlink related crash in nf_nat_setup_info()

2008-06-12T00:51:10Z

When creation of a new conntrack entry in ctnetlink fails after having set up the NAT mappings, the conntrack has an extension area allocated that is not getting properly destroyed when freeing the conntrack again. This means the NAT extension is still in the bysource hash, causing a crash when walking over the hash chain the next time: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00120fbd IP: [] nf_nat_setup_info+0x221/0x58a *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Pid: 2795, comm: conntrackd Not tainted (2.6.26-rc5 #1) EIP: 0060:[] EFLAGS: 00010206 CPU: 1 EIP is at nf_nat_setup_info+0x221/0x58a EAX: 00120fbd EBX: 00120fbd ECX: 00000001 EDX: 00000000 ESI: 0000019e EDI: e853bbb4 EBP: e853bbc8 ESP: e853bb78 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Process conntrackd (pid: 2795, ti=e853a000 task=f7de10f0 task.ti=e853a000) Stack: 00000000 e853bc2c e85672ec 00000008 c0561084 63c1db4a 00000000 00000000 00000000 0002e109 61d2b1c3 00000000 00000000 00000000 01114e22 61d2b1c3 00000000 00000000 f7444674 e853bc04 00000008 c038e728 0000000a f7444674 Call Trace: [] nla_parse+0x5c/0xb0 [] ctnetlink_change_status+0x190/0x1c6 [] ctnetlink_new_conntrack+0x189/0x61f [] update_curr+0x3d/0x52 [] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0xc1/0xd8 [] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x18/0xd8 [] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x0/0xd8 [] netlink_rcv_skb+0x2d/0x71 [] nfnetlink_rcv+0x19/0x24 [] netlink_unicast+0x1b3/0x216 ...

netfilter: Make nflog quiet when no one listen in userspace.

2008-06-12T00:50:27Z

The message "nf_log_packet: can't log since no backend logging module loaded in! Please either load one, or disable logging explicitly" was displayed for each logged packet when no userspace application is listening to nflog events. The message seems to warn for a problem with a kernel module missing but as said before this is not the case. I thus propose to suppress the message (I don't see any reason to flood the log because a user application has crashed.)

netfilter: xt_connlimit: fix accouning when receive RST packet in ESTABLISHED state

2008-06-04T16:57:51Z

In xt_connlimit match module, the counter of an IP is decreased when the TCP packet is go through the chain with ip_conntrack state TW. Well, it's very natural that the server and client close the socket with FIN packet. But when the client/server close the socket with RST packet(using so_linger), the counter for this connection still exsit.
