Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net: 1) IEEE1394 ARP payload contains no target hardware address in the ARP packet. Apparently, arp_tables was never updated to deal with IEEE1394 ARP properly. To deal with this, return no match in case the target hardware address selector is used, either for inverse or normal match. Moreover, arpt_mangle disallows mangling of the target hardware and IP address because, it is not worth to adjust the offset calculation to fix this, we suspect no users of arp_tables for this family. 2) Use list_del_rcu() to delete device hooks in nf_tables, this hook list is RCU protected, concurrent netlink dump readers can be walking on this list, fix it by adding a helper function and use it for consistency. From Florian Westphal. 3) Add list_splice_rcu(), this is useful for joining the local list of new device hooks to the RCU protected hook list in chain and flowtable. Reviewed by Paul E. McKenney. 4) Use list_splice_rcu() to publish the new device hooks in chain and flowtable to fix concurrent netlink dump traversal. 5) Add a new hook transaction object to track device hook deletions. The current approach moves device hooks to be deleted around during the preparation phase, this breaks concurrent RCU reader via netlink dump. This new hook transaction is combined with NFT_HOOK_REMOVE flag to annotate hooks for removal in the preparation phase. 6) xt_policy inbound policy check in strict mode can lead to out-of-bound access of the secpath array due to incorrect. The iteration over the secpath needs to be reversed in the inbound to check for the human readable policy, expecting inner in first position and outer in second position, the secpath from inbound actually stores outer in first position then in second position. From Jiexun Wang. 7) Fix possible zero shift in nft_bitwise triggering UBSAN splat, reject zero shift from control plane, from Kai Ma. 8) Replace simple_strtoul() in the conntrack SIP helper since it relies on nul-terminated strings.
