This expression only supports for ipv4, restrict it.

nf_osf_match_one() computes ctx->window % f->wss.val in the
OSF_WSS_MODULO branch with no guard for f->wss.val == 0. A
CAP_NET_ADMIN user can add such a fingerprint via nfnetlink; a
subsequent matching TCP SYN divides by zero and panics the kernel.
Reject the bogus fingerprint in nfnl_osf_add_callback() above the
per-option for-loop. f->wss is per-fingerprint, not per-option, so
the check must run regardless of f->opt_num (including 0). Also
reject wss.wc >= OSF_WSS_MAX; nf_osf_match_one() already treats that
as "should not happen".

Replace it with scnprintf, the buffer sizes are expected to be large enough
to hold the result, no need for snprintf+overflow check.
Increase buffer size in mangle_content_len() while at it.

This is a partial revert of:
commit ab4f21e6fb1c ("netfilter: xtables: use NFPROTO_UNSPEC in more extensions")
to allow ipv4 and ipv6 only.
- xt_mac
- xt_owner
- xt_physdev
These extensions are not used by ebtables in userspace.
Moreover, xt_realm is only for ipv4, since dst->tclassid is ipv4
specific.

Florian Westphal says:
"Historically this is not an issue, even for normal base hooks: the data
path doesn't use the original nf_hook_ops that are used to register the
callbacks.
However, in v5.14 I added the ability to dump the active netfilter
hooks from userspace.
This code will peek back into the nf_hook_ops that are available
at the tail of the pointer-array blob used by the datapath.
The nat hooks are special, because they are called indirectly from
the central nat dispatcher hook. They are currently invisible to
the nfnl hook dump subsystem though.
But once that changes the nat ops structures have to be deferred too."
Update nf_nat_register_fn() to deal with partial exposition of the hooks
from error path which can be also an issue for nfnetlink_hook.

From: Yingnan Zhang <342144303@qq.com>
Currently, IPVS skips MTU checks for GSO packets by excluding them with
the !skb_is_gso(skb) condition. This creates problems when IPVS tunnel
mode encapsulates GSO packets with IPIP headers.
The issue manifests in two ways:
1. MTU violation after encapsulation:
When a GSO packet passes through IPVS tunnel mode, the original MTU
check is bypassed. After adding the IPIP tunnel header, the packet
size may exceed the outgoing interface MTU, leading to unexpected
fragmentation at the IP layer.
2. Fragmentation with problematic IP IDs:
When net.ipv4.vs.pmtu_disc=1 and a GSO packet with multiple segments
is fragmented after encapsulation, each segment gets a sequentially
incremented IP ID (0, 1, 2, ...). This happens because:
a) The GSO packet bypasses MTU check and gets encapsulated
b) At __ip_finish_output, the oversized GSO packet is split into
separate SKBs (one per segment), with IP IDs incrementing
c) Each SKB is then fragmented again based on the actual MTU
This sequential IP ID allocation differs from the expected behavior
and can cause issues with fragment reassembly and packet tracking.
Fix this by properly validating GSO packets using
skb_gso_validate_network_len(). This function correctly validates
whether the GSO segments will fit within the MTU after segmentation. If
validation fails, send an ICMP Fragmentation Needed message to enable
proper PMTU discovery.

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
In nf_osf_match(), the nf_osf_hdr_ctx structure is initialized once
and passed by reference to nf_osf_match_one() for each fingerprint
checked. During TCP option parsing, nf_osf_match_one() advances the
shared ctx->optp pointer.
If a fingerprint perfectly matches, the function returns early without
restoring ctx->optp to its initial state. If the user has configured
NF_OSF_LOGLEVEL_ALL, the loop continues to the next fingerprint.
However, because ctx->optp was not restored, the next call to
nf_osf_match_one() starts parsing from the end of the options buffer.
This causes subsequent matches to read garbage data and fail
immediately, making it impossible to log more than one match or logging
incorrect matches.
Instead of using a shared ctx->optp pointer, pass the context as a
constant pointer and use a local pointer (optp) for TCP option
traversal. This makes nf_osf_match_one() strictly stateless from the
caller's perspective, ensuring every fingerprint check starts at the
correct option offset.

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
The nf_osf_ttl() function accessed skb->dev to perform a local interface
address lookup without verifying that the device pointer was valid.
Additionally, the implementation utilized an in_dev_for_each_ifa_rcu
loop to match the packet source address against local interface
addresses. It assumed that packets from the same subnet should not see a
decrement on the initial TTL. A packet might appear it is from the same
subnet but it actually isn't especially in modern environments with
containers and virtual switching.
Remove the device dereference and interface loop. Replace the logic with
a switch statement that evaluates the TTL according to the ttl_check.
