Subject: [PATCH net 12/15] ipvs: skip cport 0 connections in ip_vs_conn_out_get()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 02:14:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113011447.2357709-13-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113011447.2357709-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Axel Mierczuk <axel.mierczuk@1password.com>

ip_vs_conn_out_get() does not filter templates. A template with
cport 0 is matched by a packet sent to client port 0 that traverses
the out hook, and handle_response() then runs ip_vs_set_state() and
the timeout update on a connection that must never see packets. A
backup server receives such templates over the unauthenticated sync
protocol. An ordinary connection scheduled for a client that uses
source port 0 has cport 0 as well and is matched the same way.

Apply the rule used by __ip_vs_conn_in_get(): a lookup for client
port 0 matches only connections flagged IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT, which
still wait for their cport, and a lookup for a nonzero client port
matches only connections without this flag. Test p->vport, which was
already compared with cp->cport, instead of reading cp->cport again.

ip_vs_ftp_out() relies on the first case: it looks up the data
connection with client port 0 to find the IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT entry
created for an earlier PASV or EPSV reply. That lookup keeps working.
