From f92b40a8b2645af38bd6814651c59c1e690db53d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 17:01:54 +0100 Subject: netfilter: core: only allow one nat hook per hook point The netfilter NAT core cannot deal with more than one NAT hook per hook location (prerouting, input ...), because the NAT hooks install a NAT null binding in case the iptables nat table (iptable_nat hooks) or the corresponding nftables chain (nft nat hooks) doesn't specify a nat transformation. Null bindings are needed to detect port collsisions between NAT-ed and non-NAT-ed connections. This causes nftables NAT rules to not work when iptable_nat module is loaded, and vice versa because nat binding has already been attached when the second nat hook is consulted. The netfilter core is not really the correct location to handle this (hooks are just hooks, the core has no notion of what kinds of side effects a hook implements), but its the only place where we can check for conflicts between both iptables hooks and nftables hooks without adding dependencies. So add nat annotation to hook_ops to describe those hooks that will add NAT bindings and then make core reject if such a hook already exists. The annotation fills a padding hole, in case further restrictions appar we might change this to a 'u8 type' instead of bool. iptables error if nft nat hook active: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE iptables v1.4.21: can't initialize iptables table `nat': File exists Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. nftables error if iptables nat table present: nft -f /etc/nftables/ipv4-nat /usr/etc/nftables/ipv4-nat:3:1-2: Error: Could not process rule: File exists table nat { ^^ Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- net/netfilter/core.c | 6 ++++++ net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'net/netfilter') diff --git a/net/netfilter/core.c b/net/netfilter/core.c index ed8618f4efd7..3508a5c8edbb 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/core.c +++ b/net/netfilter/core.c @@ -160,6 +160,12 @@ nf_hook_entries_grow(const struct nf_hook_entries *old, ++i; continue; } + + if (reg->nat_hook && orig_ops[i]->nat_hook) { + kvfree(new); + return ERR_PTR(-EEXIST); + } + if (inserted || reg->priority > orig_ops[i]->priority) { new_ops[nhooks] = (void *)orig_ops[i]; new->hooks[nhooks] = old->hooks[i]; diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index 10798b357481..838eb581b5ab 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -1400,6 +1400,8 @@ static int nf_tables_addchain(struct nft_ctx *ctx, u8 family, u8 genmask, ops->hook = hookfn; if (afi->hook_ops_init) afi->hook_ops_init(ops, i); + if (basechain->type->type == NFT_CHAIN_T_NAT) + ops->nat_hook = true; } chain->flags |= NFT_BASE_CHAIN; -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
