This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: disallow rule removal from chain binding to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nf_tables-disallow-rule-removal-from-chain.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 28349ee4dae813824f2c1ca969908966b01cacf5 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 7 08:22:33 2023 +0200 netfilter: nf_tables: disallow rule removal from chain binding [ Upstream commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325 ] Chain binding only requires the rule addition/insertion command within the same transaction. Removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction makes no sense, userspace does not utilize this feature. Replace nft_chain_is_bound() check to nft_chain_binding() in rule deletion commands. Replace command implies a rule deletion, reject this command too. Rule flush command can also safely rely on this nft_chain_binding() check because unbound chains are not allowed since 62e1e94b246e ("netfilter: nf_tables: reject unbound chain set before commit phase").
