Instead of a syn/ack that we can intercept, we instead received a reset packet from the real backend, that we forward to the original client. However, we don't use the correct sequence number, so the reset is not effective in closing the connection coming from the client. 14:51:00.024550 IP netfilter.90 > 192.168.122.1.41462: Flags [R.], seq 3567407084, 14:51:00.231196 IP 192.168.122.1.41462 > netfilter.90: Flags [.], ack 1, 14:51:00.647911 IP 192.168.122.1.41462 > netfilter.90: Flags [.], ack 1, 14:51:01.474395 IP 192.168.122.1.41462 > netfilter.90: Flags [.], ack 1, Fixes: 48b1de4c110a ("netfilter: add SYNPROXY core/target") Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <ffmancera@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c b/net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c index 6676a3842a0c..b0930d4aba22 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c @@ -687,7 +687,7 @@ ipv4_synproxy_hook(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb, state = &ct->proto.tcp; switch (state->state) { case TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE: - if (th->rst && !test_bit(IPS_SEEN_REPLY_BIT, &ct->status)) { + if (th->rst && CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo) != IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL) { nf_ct_seqadj_init(ct, ctinfo, synproxy->isn - ntohl(th->seq) + 1); break; @@ -1111,7 +1111,7 @@ ipv6_synproxy_hook(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb, state = &ct->proto.tcp; switch (state->state) { case TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE: - if (th->rst && !test_bit(IPS_SEEN_REPLY_BIT, &ct->status)) { + if (th->rst && CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo) != IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL) { nf_ct_seqadj_init(ct, ctinfo, synproxy->isn - ntohl(th->seq) + 1); break; -- 2.20.1
