Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/11] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix inverted IPv6 address match in dump filter
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:34:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927223436.269024-11-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927223436.269024-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Piotr Kubik <piotr@kubik.pl>
ctnetlink_filter_match_tuple() rejects an entry when
!ipv6_addr_cmp(filter, entry) is true. ipv6_addr_cmp() is a memcmp() and
returns 0 for equal addresses, so the condition is true exactly when the
addresses match: a CTA_FILTER dump with an IPv6 CTA_IP_SRC or CTA_IP_DST
skips every entry that matches the requested address and returns all the
others. The IPv4 branch compares with != and behaves correctly.
Observed with libnetfilter_conntrack NFCT_FILTER_DUMP_TUPLE: a dump
filtered on src 2001:db8::10 returned only the unrelated entries, and a
dump filtered on ::1 returned every entry except the ::1 ones.
conntrack-tools does not use the tuple filter for -L, which is why this
went unnoticed.
Use ipv6_addr_equal() so the IPv6 branch mirrors the IPv4 one.
Fixes: cb8aa9a3affb ("netfilter: ctnetlink: add kernel side filtering for dump")
