Subject: [PATCH nf 0/2] ipvs: keep templates and cport 0 conns away from packet lookups
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 10:11:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925141115.16126-1-axel.mierczuk@1password.com> (raw)
A template received over the unauthenticated sync protocol with a
nonzero cport is matched by data packets in ip_vs_conn_in_get() and
the protocol state machine runs on it. Patch 1 rejects sync records
with inconsistent cport and IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT combinations on
the backup.
Patch 2 requires a nonzero cp->cport in ip_vs_conn_out_get() so that
templates and connections still waiting for their cport cannot be
matched through the out hook.
The companion patch "ipvs: filter some flags received in the backup
server" rejects template records carrying IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT.
Axel Mierczuk (2):
ipvs: validate cport in received sync records
ipvs: skip cport 0 connections in ip_vs_conn_out_get()
