711987ba28 netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix potential NULL dereference in ttl check
The nf_osf_ttl() function accessed skb->dev to perform a local interface
address lookup without verifying that the device pointer was valid.

Additionally, the implementation utilized an in_dev_for_each_ifa_rcu
loop to match the packet source address against local interface
addresses. It assumed that packets from the same subnet should not see a
decrement on the initial TTL. A packet might appear it is from the same
subnet but it actually isn't especially in modern environments with
containers and virtual switching.

Remove the device dereference and interface loop. Replace the logic with
a switch statement that evaluates the TTL according to the ttl_check.

f5ca450087 netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix out-of-bounds read on option matching
In nf_osf_match(), the nf_osf_hdr_ctx structure is initialized once
and passed by reference to nf_osf_match_one() for each fingerprint
checked. During TCP option parsing, nf_osf_match_one() advances the
shared ctx->optp pointer.

If a fingerprint perfectly matches, the function returns early without
restoring ctx->optp to its initial state. If the user has configured
NF_OSF_LOGLEVEL_ALL, the loop continues to the next fingerprint.
However, because ctx->optp was not restored, the next call to
nf_osf_match_one() starts parsing from the end of the options buffer.
This causes subsequent matches to read garbage data and fail
immediately, making it impossible to log more than one match or logging
incorrect matches.

Instead of using a shared ctx->optp pointer, pass the context as a
constant pointer and use a local pointer (optp) for TCP option
traversal. This makes nf_osf_match_one() strictly stateless from the
caller's perspective, ensuring every fingerprint check starts at the
correct option offset.

67bf42cae4 ipvs: fix MTU check for GSO packets in tunnel mode
Currently, IPVS skips MTU checks for GSO packets by excluding them with
the !skb_is_gso(skb) condition. This creates problems when IPVS tunnel
mode encapsulates GSO packets with IPIP headers.

The issue manifests in two ways:

1. MTU violation after encapsulation:
   When a GSO packet passes through IPVS tunnel mode, the original MTU
   check is bypassed. After adding the IPIP tunnel header, the packet
   size may exceed the outgoing interface MTU, leading to unexpected
   fragmentation at the IP layer.

2. Fragmentation with problematic IP IDs:
   When net.ipv4.vs.pmtu_disc=1 and a GSO packet with multiple segments
   is fragmented after encapsulation, each segment gets a sequentially
   incremented IP ID (0, 1, 2, ...). This happens because:

   a) The GSO packet bypasses MTU check and gets encapsulated
   b) At __ip_finish_output, the oversized GSO packet is split into
      separate SKBs (one per segment), with IP IDs incrementing
   c) Each SKB is then fragmented again based on the actual MTU

   This sequential IP ID allocation differs from the expected behavior
   and can cause issues with fragment reassembly and packet tracking.

Fix this by properly validating GSO packets using
skb_gso_validate_network_len(). This function correctly validates
whether the GSO segments will fit within the MTU after segmentation. If
validation fails, send an ICMP Fragmentation Needed message to enable
proper PMTU discovery.

6eda0d771f netfilter: nat: use kfree_rcu to release ops
Florian Westphal says:

"Historically this is not an issue, even for normal base hooks: the data
path doesn't use the original nf_hook_ops that are used to register the
callbacks.

However, in v5.14 I added the ability to dump the active netfilter
hooks from userspace.

This code will peek back into the nf_hook_ops that are available
at the tail of the pointer-array blob used by the datapath.

The nat hooks are special, because they are called indirectly from
the central nat dispatcher hook. They are currently invisible to
the nfnl hook dump subsystem though.

But once that changes the nat ops structures have to be deferred too."

Update nf_nat_register_fn() to deal with partial exposition of the hooks
from error path which can be also an issue for nfnetlink_hook.

2195574dc6 netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix divide-by-zero in OSF_WSS_MODULO
nf_osf_match_one() computes ctx->window % f->wss.val in the
OSF_WSS_MODULO branch with no guard for f->wss.val == 0. A
CAP_NET_ADMIN user can add such a fingerprint via nfnetlink; a
subsequent matching TCP SYN divides by zero and panics the kernel.

Reject the bogus fingerprint in nfnl_osf_add_callback() above the
per-option for-loop. f->wss is per-fingerprint, not per-option, so
the check must run regardless of f->opt_num (including 0). Also
reject wss.wc >= OSF_WSS_MAX; nf_osf_match_one() already treats that
as "should not happen".

84dee05d9d netfilter: conntrack: remove UDP-Lite conntrack support
UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) socket support was recently retired from the core
networking stack. As a follow-up of that, drop the connection tracker
and NAT support for UDP-Lite in Netfilter.

This patch removes CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_UDPLITE and scrubs UDP-Lite
awareness from the conntrack core, NAT core, nft_ct, and ctnetlink.
Please note that stateless packet inspection, matching, ipsets or
logging support for IPPROTO_UDPLITE is preserved.

As conntrack no longer extracts UDP-Lite ports or tracks its L4 state,
when performing NAT the UDP-Lite checksum cannot be updated anymore.
That is an expected and acceptable consequence of removing UDP-Lite
conntrack module.

The checkentry path currently validates protocol, flags and count, but
it does not validate the range encoding itself. As a result, malformed

back to back, leaving ports_match_v1() to step past the last valid
ports[] element while interpreting the rule.

Reject malformed multiport v1 rules in checkentry by validating that
each range start has a following element and that the following element
is not itself marked as another range start.

__build_packet_message() already constructs NFULNL_MSG_PACKET headers.

9a91797e61 ipvs: fix NULL deref in ip_vs_add_service error path
When ip_vs_bind_scheduler() succeeds in ip_vs_add_service(), the local
variable sched is set to NULL.  If ip_vs_start_estimator() subsequently
fails, the out_err cleanup calls ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(svc, sched)
with sched == NULL.  ip_vs_unbind_scheduler() passes the cur_sched NULL
check (because svc->scheduler was set by the successful bind) but then
dereferences the NULL sched parameter at sched->done_service, causing a
kernel panic at offset 0x30 from NULL.

f33fad8dbf netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: Correct indentation when H323_TRACE defined
The trace lines are indented using PRINT("%*.s", xx, " ").
Userspace will treat this as "%*.0s" and will output no characters
when 'xx' is zero, the kernel treats it as "%*s" and will output
a single ' ' - which is probably what is intended.

Change all the formats to "%*s" removing the default precision.
This gives a single space indent when level is zero.

3785091c6c netfilter: nft_meta: add double-tagged vlan and pppoe support
Currently:

  add rule netdev x y ip saddr 1.1.1.1

does not work with neither double-tagged vlan nor pppoe packets. This is
because the network and transport header offset are not pointing to the
IP and transport protocol headers in the stack.

This patch expands NFT_META_PROTOCOL and NFT_META_L4PROTO to parse
double-tagged vlan and pppoe packets so matching network and transport
header fields becomes possible with the existing userspace generated
bytecode. Note that this parser only supports double-tagged vlan which
is composed of vlan offload + vlan header in the skb payload area for
simplicity.

NFT_META_PROTOCOL is used by bridge and netdev family as an implicit
dependency in the bytecode to match on network header fields.
Similarly, there is also NFT_META_L4PROTO, which is also used as an
implicit dependency when matching on the transport protocol header
fields.

a3f1e6a19a netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: remove redundant loop in lookup_slow
nft_pipapo_avx2_lookup_slow will never be used in reality, because the
common sizes are handled by avx2 optimized versions.

However, nft_pipapo_avx2_lookup_slow loops over the data just like the
avx2 functions.  However, _slow doesn't need to do that.

As-is, first loop sets all the right result bits and the next iterations
boil down to 'x = x & x'.  Remove the loop.

6e6f2b9b33 netfilter: use function typedefs for __rcu NAT helper hook pointers
After commit 07919126ec ("netfilter: annotate NAT helper hook pointers
with __rcu"), sparse can warn about type/address-space mismatches when
RCU-dereferencing NAT helper hook function pointers.

The hooks are __rcu-annotated and accessed via rcu_dereference(), but the
combination of complex function pointer declarators and the WRITE_ONCE()
machinery used by RCU_INIT_POINTER()/rcu_assign_pointer() can confuse
sparse and trigger false positives.

Introduce typedefs for the NAT helper function types, so __rcu applies to
a simple "fn_t __rcu *" pointer form. Also replace local typeof(hook)
variables with "fn_t *" to avoid propagating __rcu address space into
temporaries.

No functional change intended.

3d5d488f11 netfilter: x_tables: restrict xt_check_match/xt_check_target extensions for NFPROTO_ARP
Weiming Shi says:

xt_match and xt_target structs registered with NFPROTO_UNSPEC can be
loaded by any protocol family through nft_compat. When such a
match/target sets .hooks to restrict which hooks it may run on, the
bitmask uses NF_INET_* constants. This is only correct for families
whose hook layout matches NF_INET_*: IPv4, IPv6, INET, and bridge
all share the same five hooks (PRE_ROUTING ... POST_ROUTING).

ARP only has three hooks (IN=0, OUT=1, FORWARD=2) with different
semantics. Because NF_ARP_OUT == 1 == NF_INET_LOCAL_IN, the .hooks
validation silently passes for the wrong reasons, allowing matches to
run on ARP chains where the hook assumptions (e.g. state->in being
set on input hooks) do not hold. This leads to NULL pointer
dereferences; xt_devgroup is one concrete example:

35177c6877 netfilter: ctnetlink: zero expect NAT fields when CTA_EXPECT_NAT absent
ctnetlink_alloc_expect() allocates expectations from a non-zeroing
slab cache via nf_ct_expect_alloc().  When CTA_EXPECT_NAT is not
present in the netlink message, saved_addr and saved_proto are
never initialized.  Stale data from a previous slab occupant can
then be dumped to userspace by ctnetlink_exp_dump_expect(), which
checks these fields to decide whether to emit CTA_EXPECT_NAT.

The safe sibling nf_ct_expect_init(), used by the packet path,
explicitly zeroes these fields.

Zero saved_addr, saved_proto and dir in the else branch, guarded
by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NF_NAT) since these fields only exist when
NAT is enabled.

Confirmed by priming the expect slab with NAT-bearing expectations,
freeing them, creating a new expectation without CTA_EXPECT_NAT,
and observing that the ctnetlink dump emits a spurious
CTA_EXPECT_NAT containing stale data from the prior allocation.

a242a9ae58 netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: pass helper to expect cleanup
nf_conntrack_helper_unregister() calls nf_ct_expect_iterate_destroy()
to remove expectations belonging to the helper being unregistered.
However, it passes NULL instead of the helper pointer as the data
argument, so expect_iter_me() never matches any expectation and all
of them survive the cleanup.

After unregister returns, nfnl_cthelper_del() frees the helper
object immediately.  Subsequent expectation dumps or packet-driven
init_conntrack() calls then dereference the freed exp->helper,
causing a use-after-free.

Pass the actual helper pointer so expectations referencing it are
properly destroyed before the helper object is freed.

76522fcdbc netfilter: flowtable: strictly check for maximum number of actions
The maximum number of flowtable hardware offload actions in IPv6 is:

* ethernet mangling (4 payload actions, 2 for each ethernet address)
* SNAT (4 payload actions)
* DNAT (4 payload actions)
* Double VLAN (4 vlan actions, 2 for popping vlan, and 2 for pushing)
  for QinQ.
* Redirect (1 action)

Which makes 17, while the maximum is 16. But act_ct supports for tunnels
actions too. Note that payload action operates at 32-bit word level, so
mangling an IPv6 address takes 4 payload actions.

Update flow_action_entry_next() calls to check for the maximum number of
supported actions.

While at it, rise the maximum number of actions per flow from 16 to 24
so this works fine with IPv6 setups.

309b905dee ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs
Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.

Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().

This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.

Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].
