commit 5ce6b04ce9 upstream.
First, log prefix will be truncated to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1, i.e. 127,
at nf_log_packet(), so the extra part is useless.
Second, after adding a log rule with a very very long prefix, we will
fail to dump the nft rules after this _special_ one, but acctually,
they do exist. For example:
# name_65000=$(printf "%0.sQ" {1..65000})
# nft add rule filter output log prefix "$name_65000"
# nft add rule filter output counter
# nft add rule filter output counter
# nft list chain filter output
table ip filter {
chain output {
type filter hook output priority 0; policy accept;
}
}
So now, restrict the log prefix length to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1.
