* [NETFILTER] ip_queue: Fix wrong skb->len == nlmsg_len assumptionThomas Graf2006-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The size of the skb carrying the netlink message is not equivalent to the length of the actual netlink message due to padding. ip_queue matches the length of the payload against the original packet size to determine if packet mangling is desired, due to the above wrong assumption arbitary packets may not be mangled depening on their original size.

* [NETFILTER]: Restore {ipt,ip6t,ebt}_LOG compatibilityPatrick McHardy2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The nfnetlink_log infrastructure changes broke compatiblity of the LOG targets. They currently use whatever log backend was registered first, which means that if ipt_ULOG was loaded first, no messages will be printed to the ring buffer anymore. Restore compatiblity by using the old log functions by default and only use the nf_log backend if the user explicitly said so. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPSEC]: Kill post_input hook and do NAT-T in esp_input directlyHerbert Xu2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which we ought to do. However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums. We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :) When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures! I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix outgoing redirects to loopbackPatrick McHardy2006-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When redirecting an outgoing packet to loopback, it keeps the original conntrack reference and information from the outgoing path, which falsely triggers the check for DNAT on input and the dst_entry is released to trigger rerouting. ip_route_input refuses to route the packet because it has a local source address and it is dropped. Look at the packet itself to dermine if it was NATed. Also fix a missing inversion that causes unneccesary xfrm lookups. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix NAT PMTUD problemsPatrick McHardy2006-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ICMP errors are only SNATed when their source matches the source of the connection they are related to, otherwise the source address is not changed. This creates problems with ICMP frag. required messages originating from a router behind the NAT, if private IPs are used the packet has a good change of getting dropped on the path to its destination.

* [XFRM]: Fix SNAT-related crash in xfrm4_output_finishPatrick McHardy2006-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a packet matching an IPsec policy is SNATed so it doesn't match any policy anymore it looses its xfrm bundle, which makes xfrm4_output_finish crash because of a NULL pointer dereference. This patch directs these packets to the original output path instead. Since the packets have already passed the POST_ROUTING hook, but need to start at the beginning of the original output path which includes another POST_ROUTING invocation, a flag is added to the IPCB to indicate that the packet was rerouted and doesn't need to pass the POST_ROUTING hook again.

* [NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup after SNATPatrick McHardy2006-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To find out if a packet needs to be handled by IPsec after SNAT, packets are currently rerouted in POST_ROUTING and a new xfrm lookup is done. This breaks SNAT of non-unicast packets to non-local addresses because the packet is routed as incoming packet and no neighbour entry is bound to the dst_entry. In general, it seems to be a bad idea to replace the dst_entry after the packet was already sent to the output routine because its state might not match what's expected. This patch changes the xfrm lookup in POST_ROUTING to re-use the original dst_entry without routing the packet again. This means no policy routing can be used for transport mode transforms (which keep the original route) when packets are SNATed to match the policy, but it looks like the best we can do for now.

In practice, the overflow on addition is triggerable on all systems, whereas the multiplication one might require much physical memory to be present due to the check above. Either is sufficient to overwrite arbitrary amounts of kernel memory. I really hate adding the same check to all 4 versions of do_replace(), but the code is duplicate...
