There were basically two choices present to add\nconnection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all\nof the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the\nchoice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that\ncould handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol\n(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.\n\nIn fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3\nprotocol.\n\nThe existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal\nwith the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,\nwhich is also cured here. For example, these issues include:\n\n1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in\n ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate\n in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP\n messages\n\n2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because\n the simplistic \"defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag\"\n (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply\n isn\u0027t feasible in ipv6\n\n3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots\n before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were\n no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking\n design\n\n4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT\n\nThe ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of\nthe ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack\nand it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack\nstuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will\nfully kill it off 6 months later.\n\nSigned-off-by: Yasuyuki Kozakai \u003cyasuyuki.kozakai@toshiba.co.jp\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Harald Welte \u003claforge@netfilter.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo \u003cacme@mandriva.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "330d57fb98a916fa8e1363846540dd420e99499a", "tree": "841d5e5eeda46fd95ac03c36964919818a9bc3a6", "parents": [ "8546df6f357dadf1989ad8da9309c9524fd56cdf" ], "author": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Fri Nov 04 10:18:40 2005 +0000" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Tue Nov 08 17:57:30 2005 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)\n\nYou could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/\u003cif\u003e/\u003cwhatever\u003e file, then\nwait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in\nhope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table.
