4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florent Fourcot <florent.fourcot@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cbdebe481a14b42c45aa9f4ceb5ff19b55de2c57 ] Userspace `ipset` command forbids family option for hash:mac type: ipset create test hash:mac family inet4 ipset v6.30: Unknown argument: `family' However, this check is not done in kernel itself. When someone use external netlink applications (pyroute2 python library for example), one can create hash:mac with invalid family and inconsistant results from userspace (`ipset` command cannot read set content anymore). This patch enforce the logic in kernel, and forbids insertion of hash:mac with a family set. Since IP_SET_PROTO_UNDEF is defined only for hash:mac, this patch has no impact on other hash:* sets Signed-off-by: Florent Fourcot <florent.fourcot@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Victorien Molle <victorien.molle@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_gen.h | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_gen.h +++ b/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_gen.h @@ -1241,7 +1241,10 @@ IPSET_TOKEN(HTYPE, _create)(struct net * pr_debug("Create set %s with family %s\n", set->name, set->family == NFPROTO_IPV4 ?
