netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix module unload crash

2008-06-17T22:52:32+00:00

The H.245 helper is not registered/unregistered, but assigned to
connections manually from the Q.931 helper. This means on unload
existing expectations and connections using the helper are not
cleaned up, leading to the following oops on module unload:

One way to fix this would be to split helper cleanup from the unregistration
function and invoke it for the H.245 helper, but since ctnetlink needs to be
able to find the helper for synchonization purposes, a better fix is to
register it normally and make sure its not assigned to connections during
helper lookup. The missing l3num initialization is enough for this, this
patch changes it to use AF_UNSPEC to make it more explicit though.

netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races

2008-06-17T22:51:47+00:00

Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races:

- When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash,
  the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in
  a RCU read side

- When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct
  pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement

- When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must
  not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ctnetlink related crash in nf_nat_setup_info()

2008-06-12T00:51:10+00:00

When creation of a new conntrack entry in ctnetlink fails after having
set up the NAT mappings, the conntrack has an extension area allocated
that is not getting properly destroyed when freeing the conntrack again.
This means the NAT extension is still in the bysource hash, causing a
crash when walking over the hash chain the next time:

Move invocation of the extension destructors to nf_conntrack_free()
to fix this problem.

netfilter: Make nflog quiet when no one listen in userspace.

2008-06-12T00:50:27+00:00

The message "nf_log_packet: can't log since no backend logging module loaded
in! Please either load one, or disable logging explicitly" was displayed for
each logged packet when no userspace application is listening to nflog events.
The message seems to warn for a problem with a kernel module missing but as
said before this is not the case. I thus propose to suppress the message (I
don't see any reason to flood the log because a user application has crashed.)

netfilter: xt_connlimit: fix accouning when receive RST packet in ESTABLISHED state

2008-06-04T16:57:51+00:00

In xt_connlimit match module, the counter of an IP is decreased when
the TCP packet is go through the chain with ip_conntrack state TW.
Well, it's very natural that the server and client close the socket
with FIN packet. But when the client/server close the socket with RST
packet(using so_linger), the counter for this connection still exsit.
The following patch can fix it which is based on linux-2.6.25.4

netfilter: xt_iprange: module aliases for xt_iprange

2008-05-14T06:27:48+00:00

Using iptables 1.3.8 with kernel 2.6.25, rules which include '-m
iprange' don't automatically pull in xt_iprange module.  Below patch
adds module aliases to fix that.  Patch against latest -git, but seems
like a good candidate for -stable also.

netfilter: ctnetlink: dump conntrack ID in event messages

2008-05-14T06:27:11+00:00

Conntrack ID is not put (anymore ?) in event messages. This causes
current ulogd2 code to fail because it uses the ID to build a hash in
userspace. This hash is used to be able to output the starting time of
a connection.

Conntrack ID can be used in userspace application to maintain an easy
match between kernel connections list and userspace one. It may worth
to add it if there is no performance related issue.

[ Patrick: it was never included in events, but really should be ]
