Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/15] netfilter: nft_compat: restrict raw table targets/matches
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 02:56:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018005638.1776148-12-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018005638.1776148-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
xt targets and matches declaring .table = "raw" (CT, NOTRACK) rely on
only ever running in the legacy raw table's prerouting/output chains,
ahead of conntrack. nft_compat_chain_validate_dependency() already
enforces this kind of correspondence for "nat" by requiring the chain
type to actually be NAT, but did nothing for "raw": a rule wrapping
the CT target could be loaded into any hook and any priority via
nft_compat, including after the real conntrack hook has already run.
The CT target attaches a conntrack template to the skb when none is
set yet.
Require that a "raw" table dependency actually matches what xtables
enforces via the implict/builtin table dependency.
Fixes: 0ca743a55991 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tables")
