Subject: [PATCH 1/4 nf] netfilter: nft_exthdr: skip SCTP chunk evaluation for non-first fragments
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:34:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417183433.4739-1-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)

The SCTP chunk matching logic in nft_exthdr relies on SCTP common header
being present at the transport header offset. For fragmented packets at
IP level, only the first fragment would match this condition.

The nft_exthdr could be used in a PREROUTING chain with a priority lower
than -400. This would bypass defragmentation. In addition, it can be use
in stateless environments so it should work on a environment where
defragmentation is not being performed at all.

Add a check for pkt->fragoff to ensure exthdr SCTP only evaluates
unfragmented packets or the first fragment in the stream.

Fixes: 133dc203d77d ("netfilter: nft_exthdr: Support SCTP chunks")
