[PATCH V2] netfilter: ctnetlink: force null nat binding on insert

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Quoting Andrey Vagin:
  When a conntrack is created  by kernel, it is initialized (sets
  IPS_{DST,SRC}_NAT_DONE_BIT bits in nf_nat_setup_info) and only then it
  is added in hashes (__nf_conntrack_hash_insert), so one conntract
  can't be initialized from a few threads concurrently.

  ctnetlink can add an uninitialized conntrack (w/o
  IPS_{DST,SRC}_NAT_DONE_BIT) in hashes, then a few threads can look up
  this conntrack and start initialize it concurrently. It's dangerous,
  because BUG can be triggered from nf_nat_setup_info.

Fix this race by always setting up nat, even if no CTA_NAT_ attribute
was requested before inserting the ct into the hash table.

In absence of CTA_NAT_ attribute, a null binding is created.

This alters current behaviour:
Before this patch, the first packet matching the newly injected
conntrack would be run through the nat table since nf_nat_initialized()
returns false.  IOW, this forces ctnetlink users to specify the desired
nat transformation on ct creation time.

 Change since v1: fix OOPS when L3 conntrack module is not loaded.

 Caused by nf_nat_setup_info -> get_unique_tuple() which will
 call __nf_nat_l4proto_find() but thats only possible when l3 module
 is loaded, else null-ptr deref.

 For the non-ctnetlink case the l3 module must be there, else we cannot
 end up in this function.  Thus I did not want to add tests there
 and instead added a pre-check when adding null binding via ctnetlink.

 Not very nice, perhaps someone has better idea
 [ look in patch for comment in nfnetlink_attach_null_binding() ]
