Subject: [PATCH net 07/14] netfilter: nft_compat: ebtables emulation must reject non-bridge targets
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:15:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623221548.701545-8-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623221548.701545-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

xtables targets return netfilter verdicts: NF_ACCEPT, NF_DROP, and so
on.  ebtables targets return incompatible verdicts: EBT_ACCEPT,
EBT_DROP, ...   We cannot allow fallback to NFPROTO_UNSPEC.

ebtables doesn't permit this since
11ff7288beb2 ("netfilter: ebtables: reject non-bridge targets")
but that commit missed the nft_compat layer.
