Unfortunately, there are 3rd party tools that install such rules, so we cannot reject this from the config plane without potential breakage. Amend Kconfig text to clarify that the CHECKSUM target is only useful in virtualized environments, where old dhcp clients that use AF_PACKET used to discard UDP packets with a 'bad' header checksum and add a one-time warning in case such rule isn't restricted to UDP. v2: check IP6T_F_PROTO flag before cmp (Michal Kubecek) Reported-by: Satish Patel Reported-by: Markos Chandras Reported-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- net/netfilter/Kconfig | 12 ++++++------ net/netfilter/xt_CHECKSUM.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/Kconfig b/net/netfilter/Kconfig index 71709c104081..f61c306de1d0 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/Kconfig +++ b/net/netfilter/Kconfig @@ -771,13 +771,13 @@ config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CHECKSUM depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED ---help--- This option adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle - table. + table to work around buggy DHCP clients in virtualized environments. - You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in - a packet that lacks a checksum.
