From 775ada6d9f4c9dc440f5aeca00354eb87f6e0696 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:14:38 +0200 Subject: netfilter: more strict TCP flag matching in SYNPROXY Its seems Patrick missed to incoorporate some of my requested changes during review v2 of SYNPROXY netfilter module. Which were, to avoid SYN+ACK packets to enter the path, meant for the ACK packet from the client (from the 3WHS). Further there were a bug in ip6t_SYNPROXY.c, for matching SYN packets that didn't exclude the ACK flag. Go a step further with SYN packet/flag matching by excluding flags ACK+FIN+RST, in both IPv4 and IPv6 modules. The intented usage of SYNPROXY is as follows: (gracefully describing usage in commit) iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 --syn -j NOTRACK iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state UNTRACKED,INVALID \ -j SYNPROXY --sack-perm --timestamp --mss 1480 --wscale 7 --ecn echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose This does filter SYN flags early, for packets in the UNTRACKED state, but packets in the INVALID state with other TCP flags could still reach the module, thus this stricter flag matching is still needed.

This patch, changes SYNPROXY target to let packets, not consumed, continue being processed by the stack. This will be more in line other target modules. As it will allow more flexible configurations of handling, logging or matching on packets in INVALID states.
