From a82c25c366b0963d33ddf699196e6cf57f6d89b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2022 13:52:11 +0100 Subject: Revert "netfilter: nat: force port remap to prevent shadowing well-known ports" This reverts commit 878aed8db324bec64f3c3f956e64d5ae7375a5de. This change breaks existing setups where conntrack is used with asymmetric paths. In these cases, the NAT transformation occurs on the syn-ack instead of the syn: 1. SYN x:12345 -> y -> 443 // sent by initiator, receiverd by responder 2. SYNACK y:443 -> x:12345 // First packet seen by conntrack, as sent by responder 3. tuple_force_port_remap() gets called, sees: 'tcp from 443 to port 12345 NAT' -> pick a new source port, inititor receives 4. SYNACK y:$RANDOM -> x:12345 // connection is never established While its possible to avoid the breakage with NOTRACK rules, a kernel update should not break working setups. An alternative to the revert is to augment conntrack to tag mid-stream connections plus more code in the nat core to skip NAT for such connections, however, this leads to more interaction/integration between conntrack and NAT. Therefore, revert, users will need to add explicit nat rules to avoid port shadowing.
