[PATCHv2 net] openvswitch: Scrub skb between namespaces

[Joe Stringer]

If OVS receives a packet from another namespace, then the packet should
be scrubbed. However, people have already begun to rely on the behaviour
that skb->mark is preserved across namespaces, so retain this one field.

This is mainly to address information leakage between namespaces when
using OVS internal ports, but by placing it in ovs_vport_receive() it is
more generally applicable, meaning it should not be overlooked if other
port types are allowed to be moved into namespaces in future.

[PATCHv2 net 1/3] openvswitch: Reject ct_state masks for unknown bits

[Joe Stringer]

Currently, 0-bits are generated in ct_state where the bit position is
undefined, and matches are accepted on these bit-positions. If userspace
requests to match the 0-value for this bit then it may expect only a
subset of traffic to match this value, whereas currently all packets
will have this bit set to 0. Fix this by rejecting such masks.

[PATCHv2 net 3/3] openvswitch: Serialize nested ct actions if provided

[Joe Stringer]

If userspace provides a ct action with no nested mark or label, then the
storage for these fields is zeroed. Later when actions are requested,
such zeroed fields are serialized even though userspace didn't
originally specify them. Fix the behaviour by ensuring that no action is
serialized in this case, and reject actions where userspace attempts to
set these fields with mask=0. This should make netlink marshalling
consistent across deserialization/reserialization.

I'm probably missing something obvious. Why is the reply direction
not considered NEW? Wouldn't this consider an ICMPv6 as related+new
depending on simply the direction?

My thoughts were along the lines "If something is a reply, that
implies that state is held, and therefore it cannot be NEW (where NEW
means no state is available)". However, if you consider that the
'related' connection is an independent connection with its own state,
but the 'reply' bit refers to the original connection, my original
premise breaks. Furthermore, looking at how it's used in netfilter
core and the ICMP proto handler, it looks like both of these cases
should be considered NEW. I can respin.

Do you have a specific case in mind here? It would be useful for
extending the OVS testsuite.

It's tricky. A typical use case would be an active FTP connection
where the data connection is established in the reply direction
and marked related if I'm not mistaken.

OTOH, an ICMP sent in response should not be considered NEW. It
really depends on our definition of NEW towards the user.

ICMP and FTP are handled a bit differently: ICMP protocol handling is
based on the original connection; however for expected connections
like FTP data, there is a separate conntrack entry. I agree that for
ICMP errors, they should not be NEW; but for active FTP connections,
I'd expect the data connection to be NEW (if it wasn't already
seen&established). Along these lines, my earlier assertion that the
'reply' flag is based on the original connection is only applicable
for ICMP responses, but not for FTP data connections.

I think that the proper solution instead of this patch is to set NEW
if !nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct). This is more accurately the meaning for
'NEW' that we are actually trying to expose. As long as this is done
before confirming the connection during a "commit", this will make the
behaviour consistent with the lack of commit flag. I'm sending a
patch. Thanks for the feedback!

Agreed. This sounds perfect.
