Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_ct: add seqadj extension for natted connections
Sequence adjustment may be required for FTP traffic with PASV/EPSV modes.
due to need to re-write packet payload (IP, port) on the ftp control
connection. This can require changes to the TCP length and expected
seq / ack_seq.
The easiest way to reproduce this issue is with PASV mode.
Example ruleset:
table inet ftp_nat {
ct helper ftp_helper {
type "ftp" protocol tcp
l3proto inet
}
chain prerouting {
type filter hook prerouting priority 0; policy accept;
tcp dport 21 ct state new ct helper set "ftp_helper"
}
}
table ip nat {
chain prerouting {
type nat hook prerouting priority -100; policy accept;
tcp dport 21 dnat ip prefix to ip daddr map {
192.168.100.1 : 192.168.13.2/32 }
}
chain postrouting {
type nat hook postrouting priority 100 ; policy accept;
tcp sport 21 snat ip prefix to ip saddr map {
192.168.13.2 : 192.168.100.1/32 }
}
}
Note that the ftp helper gets assigned *after* the dnat setup.
The inverse (nat after helper assign) is handled by an existing
check in nf_nat_setup_info() and will not show the problem.

Fix this by adding the required extension when a conntrack helper is assigned
to a connection that has a nat binding.
