Re: [PATCH] ip_fragment:kernel may panic when replay big packet with RST flag

Sorry, I will google it.
I find this problem in 2.4.35. and then I read the Latest code,maybe
it has the same problem too.

Hello everyone:

PC(A)-linux(B)-PC(C)
computer(linux B) with two net interface,eth0 and eth1.
PC(A) send syn to PC(C)  though linux B.
then PC(C) replay a big packet  with RST flag(use tcpsic or other tools).

This RST packet(1480) come in from eth0(mtu 1500) and go out from
eth1(mtu 700), so this RST packet should fragment.

BUT in tcp_packet func: if the connection has no reply packet,and
receive the RST packet.ip_conntrack should  destroy.
  if (!test_bit(IPS_SEEN_REPLY_BIT, &ct->status)) {
                /* If only reply is a RST, we can consider ourselves not to
                   have an established connection: this is a fairly common
                   problem case, so we can delete the conntrack
                   immediately.  --RR */
                if (th->rst) {
                        nf_ct_kill_acct(ct, ctinfo, skb);
                        return NF_ACCEPT;
                }
        }

BUT the skb->nfct is not set NULL in func nf_ct_kill_acct.
so when this RST packet goto ip_fragment,ip_fragment call nf_copy, in
__nf_copy func
the fragment skb->nfct point to the destory mem.
dst->nfct = src->nfct;
nf_conntrack_get(src->nfct);

SO finally.kfree_skb call destroy_conntrack again. this may result in
LINUX B kernel panic.


here is the patch,sorry ,i dont know how to use diff to generate patch.
:-D

Hi Feng

Oh well, please learn how to do this. If you are able to make such
analysis, you sure can learn how to use diff !!!

What is the version of linux you use ?
