[PATCH net 0/2] Netfilter fixes for net

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Hi,

The following patchset contains late Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Set on IPS_CONFIRMED before change_status() otherwise EBUSY is
   bogusly hit. This bug was introduced in the 6.3 release cycle.

2) Fix nfnetlink_queue conntrack support: Set/dump timeout
   accordingly for unconfirmed conntrack entries. Make sure this
   is done after IPS_CONFIRMED is set on. This is an old bug, it
   happens since the introduction of this feature.

Please, pull these changes from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf.git

Thanks.

[PATCH net 1/2] netfilter: conntrack: restore IPS_CONFIRMED out of nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert()

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

e6d57e9ff0ae ("netfilter: conntrack: fix rmmod double-free race")
consolidates IPS_CONFIRMED bit set in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert().
However, this breaks ctnetlink:

 # conntrack -I -p tcp --timeout 123 --src 1.2.3.4 --dst 5.6.7.8 --state ESTABLISHED --sport 1 --dport 4 -u SEEN_REPLY
 conntrack v1.4.6 (conntrack-tools): Operation failed: Device or resource busy

This is a partial revert of the aforementioned commit to restore
IPS_CONFIRMED.

[PATCH net 2/2] netfilter: conntrack: fix wrong ct->timeout value

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Tzung-Bi Shih <tzungbi@kernel.org>

(struct nf_conn)->timeout is an interval before the conntrack
confirmed.  After confirmed, it becomes a timestamp.

It is observed that timeout of an unconfirmed conntrack:
- Set by calling ctnetlink_change_timeout(). As a result,
  `nfct_time_stamp` was wrongly added to `ct->timeout` twice.
- Get by calling ctnetlink_dump_timeout(). As a result,
  `nfct_time_stamp` was wrongly subtracted.

Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 dump_stack_lvl
 ctnetlink_dump_timeout
 __ctnetlink_glue_build
 ctnetlink_glue_build
 __nfqnl_enqueue_packet

 ? __pfx_ip_finish_output
 ip_send_skb
 ? __pfx_dst_output
 udp_send_skb
 udp_sendmsg
 ? __pfx_ip_generic_getfrag
 sock_sendmsg

Separate the 2 cases in:
- Setting `ct->timeout` in __nf_ct_set_timeout().
- Getting `ct->timeout` in ctnetlink_dump_timeout().

Pablo appends:

Update ctnetlink to set up the timeout _after_ the IPS_CONFIRMED flag is
set on, otherwise conntrack creation via ctnetlink breaks.

Note that the problem described in this patch occurs since the
introduction of the nfnetlink_queue conntrack support, select a
sufficiently old Fixes: tag for -stable kernel to pick up this fix.
