From a963d710f367f68cd13d562a07db55ccb8daade9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Cernekee Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:49:43 -0800 Subject: netfilter: ctnetlink: Fix regression in CTA_STATUS processing The libnetfilter_conntrack userland library always sets IPS_CONFIRMED when building a CTA_STATUS attribute. If this toggles the bit from 0->1, the parser will return an error. On Linux 4.4+ this will cause any NFQA_EXP attribute in the packet to be ignored. This breaks conntrackd's userland helpers because they operate on unconfirmed connections. Instead of returning -EBUSY if the user program asks to modify an unchangeable bit, simply ignore the change. Also, fix the logic so that user programs are allowed to clear the bits that they are allowed to change.
