Pablo says: ==================== This is the second batch of Netfilter updates for net-next. It contains the kernel changes for the new user-space connection tracking helper infrastructure. More details on this infrastructure are provides here: http://lwn.net/Articles/500196/ Still, I plan to provide some official documentation through the conntrack-tools user manual on how to setup user-space utilities for this. So far, it provides two helper in user-space, one for NFSv3 and another for Oracle/SQLnet/TNS. Yet in my TODO list. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-06-16netfilter: add user-space connection tracking helper infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso3-1/+58
There are good reasons to supports helpers in user-space instead: * Rapid connection tracking helper development, as developing code in user-space is usually faster. * Reliability: A buggy helper does not crash the kernel. Moreover, we can monitor the helper process and restart it in case of problems. * Security: Avoid complex string matching and mangling in kernel-space running in privileged mode. Going further, we can even think about running user-space helpers as a non-root process. * Extensibility: It allows the development of very specific helpers (most likely non-standard proprietary protocols) that are very likely not to be accepted for mainline inclusion in the form of kernel-space connection tracking helpers. This patch adds the infrastructure to allow the implementation of user-space conntrack helpers by means of the new nfnetlink subsystem `nfnetlink_cthelper' and the existing queueing infrastructure (nfnetlink_queue). I had to add the new hook NF_IP6_PRI_CONNTRACK_HELPER to register ipv[4|6]_helper which results from splitting ipv[4|6]_confirm into two pieces. This change is required not to break NAT sequence adjustment and conntrack confirmation for traffic that is enqueued to our user-space conntrack helpers. Basic operation, in a few steps: 1) Register user-space helper by means of `nfct': nfct helper add ftp inet tcp [ It must be a valid existing helper supported by conntrack-tools ] 2) Add rules to enable the FTP user-space helper which is used to track traffic going to TCP port 21. For locally generated packets: iptables -I OUTPUT -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp For non-locally generated packets: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 21 -j CT --helper ftp 3) Run the test conntrackd in helper mode (see example files under doc/helper/conntrackd.conf conntrackd 4) Generate FTP traffic going, if everything is OK, then conntrackd should create expectations (you can check that with `conntrack': conntrack -E expect [NEW] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp [DESTROY] 301 proto=6 src=192.168.1.136 dst=130.89.148.12 sport=0 dport=54037 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.1.136 master-dst=130.89.148.12 sport=57127 dport=21 class=0 helper=ftp This confirms that our test helper is receiving packets including the conntrack information, and adding expectations in kernel-space. The user-space helper can also store its private tracking information in the conntrack structure in the kernel via the CTA_HELP_INFO. The kernel will consider this a binary blob whose layout is unknown. This information will be included in the information that is transfered to user-space via glue code that integrates nfnetlink_queue and ctnetlink.

2012-06-16netfilter: add glue code to integrate nfnetlink_queue and ctnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+3
This patch allows you to include the conntrack information together with the packet that is sent to user-space via NFQUEUE. Previously, there was no integration between ctnetlink and nfnetlink_queue. If you wanted to access conntrack information from your libnetfilter_queue program, you required to query ctnetlink from user-space to obtain it. Thus, delaying the packet processing even more. Including the conntrack information is optional, you can set it via NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK flag with the new NFQA_CFG_FLAGS attribute. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2012-05-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix explicit helper attachment and NATPablo Neira Ayuso1-0/+4
Explicit helper attachment via the CT target is broken with NAT if non-standard ports are used. This problem was hidden behind the automatic helper assignment routine. Thus, it becomes more noticeable now that we can disable the automatic helper assignment with Eric Leblond's: 9e8ac5a netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment Basically, nf_conntrack_alter_reply asks for looking up the helper up if NAT is enabled. Unfortunately, we don't have the conntrack template at that point anymore. Since we don't want to rely on the automatic helper assignment, we can skip the second look-up and stick to the helper that was attached by iptables. With the CT target, the user is in full control of helper attachment, thus, the policy is to trust what the user explicitly configures via iptables (no automatic magic anymore). Interestingly, this bug was hidden by the automatic helper look-up code. But it can be easily trigger if you attach the helper in a non-standard port, eg. iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 8888 \ -j CT --helper ftp And you disabled the automatic helper assignment. I added the IPS_HELPER_BIT that allows us to differenciate between a helper that has been explicitly attached and those that have been automatically assigned. I didn't come up with a better solution (having backward compatibility in mind). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Moreover, it also contains the glue code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout to the given flow.

2011-12-25netfilter: add extended accounting infrastructure over nfnetlinkPablo Neira Ayuso3-1/+39
We currently have two ways to account traffic in netfilter: - iptables chain and rule counters: # iptables -L -n -v Chain INPUT (policy DROP 3 packets, 867 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 8 1104 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 - use flow-based accounting provided by ctnetlink: # conntrack -L tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.1.130 dst=212.106.219.168 sport=58152 dport=80 packets=47 bytes=7654 src=212.106.219.168 dst=192.168.1.130 sport=80 dport=58152 packets=49 bytes=66340 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1 While trying to display real-time accounting statistics, we require to pool the kernel periodically to obtain this information. This is OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained. Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters. This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and byte counters. In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use: libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 }; Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch): # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match updates the counters.

2011-12-23netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper supportPablo Neira Ayuso2-1/+6
This partially reworks bc01befdcf3e40979eb518085a075cbf0aacede0 which added userspace expectation support. This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from userspace. A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace helpers from userspace is available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2 This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper extension. This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace helper. This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the expectation deletion event path. I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only require a new flag can be added without a new revision. There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there will be some by beginning 2012.

2011-12-05netfilter: add ipv4 reverse path filter matchFlorian Westphal1-0/+23
This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs in several aspects. The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the PREROUTING hook is invoked. We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets. To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy suggested to attach the path information directly in the match (i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING). This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark would have no effect (because the route is already attached). Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of -m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets. In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset compatibility. Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply combine -m rpfilter with the policy match. Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: David S.

different interfaces If overlapping networks with different interfaces was added to the set, the type did not handle it properly. Example ipset create test hash:net,iface ipset add test 192.168.0.0/16,eth0 ipset add test 192.168.0.0/24,eth1 Now, if a packet was sent from 192.168.0.0/24,eth0, the type returned a match. In the patch the algorithm is fixed in order to correctly handle overlapping networks. Limitation: the same network cannot be stored with more than 64 different interfaces in a single set.
