From c4edc3ccbc63947e697bd2e30afca8bfaa144998 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ali Abdallah Date: Thu, 20 May 2021 12:53:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: improve RST handling when tuple is re-used If we receive a SYN packet in original direction on an existing connection tracking entry, we let this SYN through because conntrack might be out-of-sync. Conntrack gets back in sync when server responds with SYN/ACK and state gets updated accordingly. However, if server replies with RST, this packet might be marked as INVALID because td_maxack value reflects the *old* conntrack state and not the state of the originator of the RST. Avoid td_maxack-based checks if previous packet was a SYN. Unfortunately that is not be enough: an out of order ACK in original direction updates last_index, so we still end up marking valid RST. Thus disable the sequence check when we are not in established state and the received RST has a sequence of 0. Because marking RSTs as invalid usually leads to unwanted timeouts, also skip RST sequence checks if a conntrack entry is already closing. Such entries can already be evicted via GC in case the table is full.
