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. Phil Signed-off-by: Phil Oester <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
