expr_evaluate_binop calls expr_set_context for shift expressions to set the context data-type to `integer`. This clobbers the byte-order of the context, resulting in unexpected conversions to NBO. For example: $ sudo nft flush ruleset $ sudo nft add table t $ sudo nft add chain t c '{ type filter hook output priority mangle; }' $ sudo nft add rule t c oif lo tcp dport ssh ct mark set '0x10 | 0xe' $ sudo nft add rule t c oif lo tcp dport ssh ct mark set '0xf << 1' $ sudo nft list table t table ip t { chain c { type filter hook output priority mangle; policy accept; oif "lo" tcp dport 22 ct mark set 0x0000001e oif "lo" tcp dport 22 ct mark set 0x1e000000 } } Replace it with a call to __expr_set_context and set the byteorder to that of the left operand since this is the value being shifted.

Since v1: * replace expr_set_context with __expr_set_context (and explicity set the byte-order) instead of removing it altogether in order to ensure that the right operand has integer type. diff --git a/src/evaluate.c b/src/evaluate.c index 817b23220bb9..34e4473e4c9a 100644 --- a/src/evaluate.c +++ b/src/evaluate.c @@ -1145,7 +1145,8 @@ static int expr_evaluate_binop(struct eval_ctx *ctx, struct expr **expr) left = op->left; if (op->op == OP_LSHIFT || op->op == OP_RSHIFT) - expr_set_context(&ctx->ectx, &integer_type, ctx->ectx.len); + __expr_set_context(&ctx->ectx, &integer_type, + left->byteorder, ctx->ectx.len, 0); if (expr_evaluate(ctx, &op->right) < 0) return -1; right = op->right; -- 2.24.1
