Subject: [PATCH 3/4 nf] netfilter: nft_osf: skip evaluation for non-first fragments
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:34:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417183433.4739-4-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417183433.4739-1-fmancera@suse.de>
The osf expression extracts TCP options to match them against
fingerprints. For fragmented packets, every fragment carries the
transport protocol used but only the first fragment contains the TCP
header.
As nftables is not evaluating chain priority, a osf expression could be
attached to a PREROUTING chain with a priority lower than -400. This
would bypass defragmentation. In addition, nft_osf should be able to
work in stateless environments, therefore it can be use in situation
when defragmentation is not being performed.
Add a check for pkt->fragoff to ensure osf only evaluates unfragmented
packets or the first fragment in the stream.
Fixes: b96af92d6eaf ("netfilter: nf_tables: implement Passive OS fingerprint module in nft_osf")
