Following bug was reported via irc: nft list ruleset set knock_candidates_ipv4 { type ipv4_addr . inet_service size 65535 elements = { 127.0.0.1 . 123, 127.0.0.1 . 123 } } .. udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . 123 } udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . udp dport } It should not have been possible to add a duplicate set entry. 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 inet firewall @knock_candidates_ipv4 element 0100007f ffff7b00 : 0 [end] element 0100007f 00007b00 : 0 [end] Note the non-zero upper bits of the first element. It turns out that nft_immediate doesn't zero the destination register, but this is needed when the length isn't a multiple of 4. Furthermore, the zeroing in nft_payload is broken. We can't use [len / 4] = 0 -- if len is a multiple of 4, index is off by one. Skip zeroing in this case and use a conditional instead of (len -1) / 4.
