Under extremely rare conditions TCP early demux will retrieve the wrong socket. 1. local machine establishes a connection to a remote server, S, on port p. This gives: laddr:lport -> S:p ... both in tcp and conntrack. 2. local machine establishes a connection to host H, on port p2. 2a. TCP stack choses same laddr:lport, so we have laddr:lport -> H:p2 from TCP point of view. 2b). There is a destination NAT rewrite in place, translating H:p2 to S:p. This results in following conntrack entries: I) laddr:lport -> S:p (origin) S:p -> laddr:lport (reply) II) laddr:lport -> H:p2 (origin) S:p -> laddr:lport2 (reply) NAT engine has rewritten laddr:lport to laddr:lport2 to map the reply packet to the correct origin. When server sends SYN/ACK to laddr:lport2, the PREROUTING hook will undo-the SNAT transformation, rewriting IP header to S:p -> laddr:lport This causes TCP early demux to associate the skb with the TCP socket of the first connection. The INPUT hook will then reverse the DNAT transformation, rewriting the IP header to H:p2 -> laddr:lport. Because packet ends up with the wrong socket, the new connection never completes: originator stays in SYN_SENT and conntrack entry remains in SYN_RECV until timeout, and responder retransmits SYN/ACK until it gives up. To resolve this, orphan the skb after the input rewrite: Because the source IP address changed, the socket must be incorrect. We can't move the DNAT undo to prerouting due to backwards compatibility, doing so will make iptables/nftables rules to no longer match the way they did. After orphan, the packet will be handed to the next protocol layer (tcp, udp, ...) and that will repeat the socket lookup just like as if early demux was disabled.
