Changes since v1:
- add patch 3. Patches 1 and 2 are unchanged.
1) Restrict nfnetlink_queue writes to the network header. Validate IP/IPv6
headers and disable IPv6 extension header changes. Ensure total length
matches skb length.
2) Restrict nft_payload writes to linklayer and network header data. Prevent
linklayer writes from spilling into network headers. Validate network
header updates to protect IP version and length fields.
3) add restrictions to the checksum offset, without this patch 2 isn't
sufficient because an invalid checksum offset can e.g. overwrite iph
header length field.
This doesn't remove the userns restriction, yet.
I would like to wait a bit before re-enabling this to make sure there
are no other gaps (e.g. for encapsulated traffic).
Florian Westphal (3):
netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: restrict writes to network header
netfilter: nftables: restrict linklayer and network header writes
netfilter: nftables: restrict checkum update offset
