Subject: [PATCH net 08/10] netfilter: xt_dccp: handle reserved options as single-byte
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:02:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019150249.1879516-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019150249.1879516-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Sung Byeongchan <tjdqudcks0424@naver.com>

The DCCP UAPI defines option numbers 3 through 31 as reserved.  Like
Padding and Mandatory, these options occupy one byte.  dccp_find_option()
only treats values below 2 as single-byte and interprets the byte after a
reserved option as a TLV length.

This can skip a later option and invert an XT_DCCP_OPTION rule result.  A
local production-hook fixture installed the same DROP rule for IPv4 and
IPv6.  In three fresh boots per kernel, a target-only packet was dropped
20/20 times, while adding reserved option 3 before the same target let
20/20 packets reach the protected receiver.  The fixed kernel dropped all
trigger packets in three fresh boots and preserved the normal controls.

Treat every option up to DCCPO_MAX_RESERVED as single-byte, matching the
protocol definition.  Triggering requires
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY, CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP, an
option-based rule, and remote protocol-33 reachability.  The touched source
is unchanged at 0c2669a9f4a1d607e7591ae50ccf3c432a0aff08, where the patch
applies and builds cleanly.

Fixes: 1d3de414eb20 ("[NETFILTER]: New iptables DCCP protocol header match")
