netfilter: x_tables: remove pr_debug

2026-08-27T14:10:57Z

Remove pr_debug() for these xtables extensions, these have no use these days. Still, turn pr_debug() into pr_info_ratelimited() in the .checkentry path since this helps provide a hint via dmesg in legacy iptables. Exception is xt_IDLETIMER in the module init path, where pr_err() is used. Add missing pr_fmt() definition in xt_REDIRECT, xt_NETMAP and xt_MASQUERADE. Add missing \n to several pr_debug() that were translated to use pr_info_ratelimited(). Link: https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1786933680.git.rakukuip@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: tproxy: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE for protocol fallbacks

2026-08-27T12:09:50Z

Replace WARN_ON calls with DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE in the default switch blocks of nf_tproxy_get_sock_v4 and v6. Unsupported transport protocols are already safely handled by returning a NULL socket pointer. This prevents unnecessary system panics when panic_on_warn=1 is enabled in production systems.

netfilter: nf_tables: call skb_valid_dst() before skb_dst()

2026-07-31T12:47:03Z

When fetching the dst_entry from the skb, check if it valid, ie. this is not a template dst, for extensions that can be used from the netdev ingress and egress chains. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: handle unreadable frags

2026-07-08T13:33:44Z

sashiko reports: When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module, skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..] xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case. gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header. nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part. nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part. v2: - skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue is broken too xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag

2026-07-08T13:22:03Z

nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6 fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header: skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr); On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7), after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom. The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced; it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the guard here. Fixes: 9fb9cbb1082d ("[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.")

netfilter: ip6tables: mark malformed IPv6 extension headers for hotdrop

2026-07-03T12:45:21Z

The ah, hbh and rt matches check that the fixed extension header is present, then use the header length field to derive the advertised extension header length for matching. For the ah match, add the missing advertised-length check. For hbh and rt, update the existing advertised-length checks. In all three cases, set hotdrop to true before returning false when the advertised extension header length exceeds the available skb data. Returning false treats the packet as a rule mismatch. Set hotdrop to true and drop malformed packets so they cannot bypass rules intended to drop packets with these IPv6 extension headers.

netfilter: nft_fib: fix stale stack leak via the OIFNAME register

2026-06-10T16:00:19Z

For NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME the destination register is declared with len = IFNAMSIZ (four 32-bit registers), but on the lookup-fail, RTN_LOCAL and oif-mismatch paths nft_fib{4,6}_eval() only writes one register via "*dest = 0". The remaining three registers are left as whatever was on the stack in nft_do_chain()'s struct nft_regs, and a downstream expression that loads the register span can leak that uninitialised kernel stack to userspace. The NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT existence check has the same shape: it is only meaningful for NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF, yet it was accepted for any result type while the eval stores a single byte via nft_reg_store8(), leaving the rest of the declared span stale. Fix both: - replace the bare "*dest = 0" in the eval with nft_fib_store_result(), which strscpy_pad()s the whole IFNAMSIZ for OIFNAME (and is already used on the other early-return path), and - restrict NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT to NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF and declare its destination as a single u8, so the marked span matches the one byte the eval writes.

netfilter: x_tables: avoid leaking percpu counter pointers

2026-06-10T15:59:01Z

The native and compat get-entries paths copy the fixed rule entry header from the kernelized rule blob to userspace before overwriting the entry's counter fields with a sanitized counter snapshot. On SMP kernels, entry->counters.pcnt contains the percpu allocation address used by x_tables rule counters. A caller can provide a userspace buffer that faults during the initial fixed-header copy after pcnt has been copied but before the later sanitized counter copy runs. The syscall then returns -EFAULT while leaving the raw percpu pointer in userspace. Copy only the fixed entry prefix before counters from the kernelized rule blob, then copy the sanitized counter snapshot into the counter field. Apply this ordering to the IPv4, IPv6, and ARP native and compat get-entries implementations so a fault cannot expose the internal percpu counter pointer.
