Subject: [PATCH v15 nf-next 1/3] netfilter: utils: nf_checksum(_partial) correct data!=networkheader
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 20:30:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925183043.114660-2-ericwouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250925183043.114660-1-ericwouds@gmail.com>
In the conntrack hook it may not always be the case that:
skb_network_header(skb) == skb->data, i.e. skb_network_offset(skb)
is zero.
This is problematic when L4 function nf_conntrack_handle_packet()
is accessing L3 data. This function uses thoff and ip_hdr()
to finds it's data. But it also calculates the checksum.
nf_checksum() and nf_checksum_partial() both use lower skb-checksum
functions that are based on using skb->data.
Adjust for skb_network_offset(skb), so that the checksum is calculated
correctly.
