Following bug was reported via irc: nft list ruleset set knock_candidates_ipv4 { type ipv4_addr . inet_service size 65535 elements = { 23.94.139.105 . 123, 23.94.139.105 . 123 } } .. udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . 123 } udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . udp dport } so for some reason a duplicate entry was created, which should be impossible. After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the immediate value (123) in the second-to-last rule. Concatenations use 32bit registers, i.e. the elements are 8 bytes each, not 6 and it turns out the kernel inserted element 698b5e17 ffff7b00 : 0 [end] element 698b5e17 00007b00 : 0 [end] Note the non-zero upper bits of the first element. It turns out that nft_immediate doesn't zero out the destination register, but this is needed when the length isn't a multiple of 4. Furthermore, the zeroing in nft_payload is also broken. We can't use [len / 4] = 0 -- if len is a multiple of 4, this results in a buffer-off-by-one. We can elide the zeroing in this case, so use a conditional instead of using [(len -1) / 4].
