Subject: netfilter-queue: Incorrect UDP checksum computation in nfq_udp_compute_checksum_ipv4
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 10:48:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56FE35C2.2070202@etas.com> (raw)
Hi all,
the function nfq_udp_compute_checksum_ipv4 (src/extra/udp.c) does not
compute the correct UDP checksum.
The issue is caused by the called function checksum_tcpudp_ipv4()
(src/extra/checksum.c) that uses the hard coded protocol id IPPROTO_TCP
which is fine for TCP but fails for UDP.
A possible solution might be to pass the protocol id (IPPROTO_TCP /
IPPROTOC_UDP) as parameter to the function checksum_tcpudp_ipv4().
The very same is also true for the IPv6 versions of these functions.
Any feedback is welcome.
Best regards
Mathias
