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

 



Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

        nftables 1.1.0

... after a release cycles of 8 months.

This release contains mostly fixes, listed in no particular order:

- Restore compatibility set element dump with <= 0.9.8

   add element t s { 23 counter packets 10 bytes 20 timeout 10s }
   add element t s { 42 timeout 10s counter packets 10 bytes 20 }

- Disallow ifname less than zero

   meta iifname “”
   Error: Empty string is not allowed

- Do not omit tproxy port for non-value expressions

   tproxy ip to 127.0.0.1:8000
   meta l4proto 6 tproxy ip to 127.0.0.1:symhash mod 2 map { 0 : 8000, 1 : 8010 }

- Listing meta hour with negative time offset

   TZ=UTC-4 nft add rule x y meta hour “22:00”

- Byteorder conversion with {ct,meta} statements

   map mapv6 {
      typeof ip6 dscp : meta mark;
   }
   meta mark set ip6 dscp map @map1

   # resulting bytecode:
   [ payload load 2b @ network header + 0 => reg 1 ]
   [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 & 0x0000c00f ) ^ 0x00000000 ]
   [ byteorder reg 1 = ntoh(reg 1, 2, 2) ]
   [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 >> 0x00000006 ) ]
   [ lookup reg 1 set mapv6 dreg 1 ]
   [ meta set mark with reg 1 ]

- Unbreak create set command

   define ip-block-4 = { 1.1.1.1 }
   create set netdev filter ip-block-4-test {
      type ipv4_addr
      flags interval
      auto-merge
      elements = $ip-block-4
   }

- Restore rule replace command

   replace rule ip t1 c1 handle 3 'jhash ip protocol . ip saddr mod 170 vmap { 0-94 : goto wan1, 95-169 : goto wan2, 170-269 }"

- Restore addition of netdevice to flowtable

   create flowtable inet filter f1 { hook ingress priority 0; counter }
   add flowtable inet filter f1 { devices = { dummy1 } ; }

- Byteorder conversion in set with concatenation and ranges

    map ipsec_in {
        typeof ipsec in reqid . iif : verdict
        flags interval
   }

   ipsec in reqid . iif vmap @ipsec_in

   # resulting bytecode:
   [ xfrm load in 0 reqid => reg 1 ]
   [ byteorder reg 1 = hton(reg 1, 4, 4) ]
   [ meta load iif => reg 9 ]
   [ byteorder reg 9 = hton(reg 9, 4, 4) ]
   [ lookup reg 1 set ipsec_in dreg 0 ]

- Support for chain multidevice in JSON

- Lots of fixes to address input sanitization (UB):

  * turn valuation assert() into errors
  * turn evaluation error instead of crash
  * parser crash
  * expression with no datatype & incompatible key with datatype in set,
  * OOB
  * memleaks

- Fix monitor mode with set intervals & concatenation

- Unbreak tcp option with numbers

    tcp option 254

- Unbreak {meta,ct} mark statement with maps

    meta mark set vlan id map { 1 : 0x00000001, 4095 : 0x00004095 }

- Reject large raw payload and concat expression

    Error: Concatenation of size 544 exceeds maximum size of 512
    udp length . @th,0,512 . @th,512,512 { 47-63 . 0xe373135363130 . 0x33131303735353203 }

- Search for group, rt_mark, rt_realms at:

    /etc/iproute2/
    /use/share/iproute2/
    … and display values via nft describe

    # nft describe meta rtclassid
    meta expression, datatype realm (routing realm) (basetype integer), 32 bits

    pre-defined symbolic constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_realms (in decimal):
        cosmos                                             0
    Reject statement with range
        meta mark set 0-100

- Support for auto-merge flag in sets in JSON

- Print 0s in time datatype

- Speed up list tables by fetching tables only

- Skip byteorder conversion with 8-byte fields

   set test {
      type ipv4_addr . ether_addr . inet_proto
      flags interval
   }
   ip saddr . ether saddr . meta l4proto @test counter

- Honor -t/--terse with list table and list set to speed up listing
- Allow for host-endian in set lookups

    map ipsec_in {
       typeof ipsec in reqid . iif : verdict
       flags interval
    }
    ipsec in reqid . 100 @ipsec_in

- Better error report when destroy command is not supported (requires >= 6.3)

- Allow to define maps with:
  * ct timeout
  * ct expectation
  * ct helper

- Translate meter into dynamic set

   add rule t c tcp dport 80 meter m size 128 { ip saddr timeout 2s limit rate 10/second }

  now becomes:

   set m {
      type ipv4_addr
      size 128
      flags dynamic,timeout
   }
   tcp dport 80 update @m { ip saddr timeout 2s limit rate 10/second burst 5 packets }

- No payload merge on negation

  tcp sport != 22 tcp dport != 23

- JSON updates:
  - List empty chain early before set/maps
  - Support for maps with concatenated data
  - Support for synproxy objects

- Restore binop syntax for flags for listing

    tcp flags & (fin | syn | rst | ack ) == syn

- Cross-day meta hour issues

    TZ=EADT $NFT add rule t c meta hour "03:00"-"14:00"

- Remove prefix notation from mark

    meta mark & 0xffffff00 == 0xffffff00

  instead of

    meta mark 0xffffff00/24

- Use numeric icmp codes in listings (ICMP codes are dependent of ICMP type)

- Add table persist flag to JSON

- Support for variables in map expressions

   define dst_map = { ::1234 : 5678 }

   table ip6 nat {
      map dst_map {
         typeof ip6 daddr : tcp dport;
         elements = $dst_map
      }
      chain prerouting {
         ip6 nexthdr tcp redirect to ip6 daddr map @dst_map
      }
   }

- VLAN support:

   # payload statement
   ip saddr 10.1.1.1 icmp type echo-request vlan id set 321

   # payload expression (QinQ matching)
   ether type 8021ad vlan id 10 vlan type 8021q vlan id 100 vlan type ip accept

- Recycle existing cache if generation ID did not change, to speed up
  incremental updates.

- Better error reporting when redefining chain

   ruleset.nft:7:9-52: Error: Chain "input" already exists in table ip 'filter' with different declaration
                 type filter hook postrouting priority filter;
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Issues with variables

   define m = { 3, 4 }
   add element ip a x \$m
   add element ip a x { 5 }

- Broader IPv4-Mapped IPv6 (similar to iptables)

   aaaa::1.2.3.4

- -f/--filename includes path relative to the current (the including) file's directory

- -I/--include: default include path now searched at the end.

- New string preprocessor (only for log statement)

   define message=”test”
   log prefix “my $message”

- Fix set element deletion is maps:

      map m {
               typeof ct bytes : meta priority
               flags interval
               elements = { 2048001-4000000 : 1:2 }
       }
       meta priority set ct bytes map @m

- Unbreak -o/--optimize with counter statements

   # nft -c -o -f ruleset.nft
   Merging:
   ruleset.nft:5:17-45:                 ct state invalid counter drop
   ruleset.nft :6:17-59:                 ct state established,related counter accept
   into:
        ct state vmap { invalid counter : drop, established counter : accept, related counter : accept }

   Merging:
   ruleset.nft:7:17-43:                 tcp dport 80 counter accept
   ruleset.nft:8:17-44:                 tcp dport 123 counter accept
   into:
        tcp dport { 80, 123 } counter accept

   Merging:
   ruleset.nft:9:17-64:                 ip saddr 1.1.1.1 ip daddr 2.2.2.2 counter accept
   ruleset.nft:10:17-62:                 ip saddr 1.1.1.2 ip daddr 3.3.3.3 counter drop
   into:
          ip saddr . ip daddr vmap { 1.1.1.1 . 2.2.2.2 counter : accept, 1.1.1.2 . 3.3.3.3 counter : drop }

... including manpage updates too and tests enhancements.
