commit d6d3f08b0f
(netfilter: xtables: conntrack match revision 2) does break the
v1 conntrack match iptables-save output in a subtle way.
Problem is as follows:
up = kmalloc(sizeof(*up), GFP_KERNEL);
[..]
/*
* The strategy here is to minimize the overhead of v1 matching,
* by prebuilding a v2 struct and putting the pointer into the
* v1 dataspace.
*/
memcpy(up, info, offsetof(typeof(*info), state_mask));
[..]
*(void **)info = up;
As the v2 struct pointer is saved in the match data space,
it clobbers the first structure member (->origsrc_addr).
Because the _v1 match function grabs this pointer and does not actually
look at the v1 origsrc, run time functionality does not break.
But iptables -nvL (or iptables-save) cannot know that v1 origsrc_addr
has been overloaded in this way:
$ iptables -p tcp -A OUTPUT -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
$ iptables-save
-A OUTPUT -p tcp -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 128.173.134.206 -j ACCEPT
(128.173... is the address to the v2 match structure).
To fix this, we take advantage of the fact that the v1 and v2 structures
are identical with exception of the last two structure members (u8 in v1,
u16 in v2).
We extract them as early as possible and prevent the v2 matching function
from looking at those two members directly.
