* conntrackd: cthelper: Add new SLP helperMichal Kubecek2019-07-221-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Service Location Protocol (SLP) uses multicast requests for DA (Directory agent) and SA (Service agent) discovery. Replies to these requests are unicast and their source address does not match destination address of the request so that we need a conntrack helper. A kernel helper was submitted back in 2013 but was rejected as userspace helper infrastructure is preferred. This adds an SLP helper to conntrackd. As the function of SLP helper is the same as what existing mDNS helper does, src/helpers/slp.c is essentially just a copy of src/helpers/mdns.c, except for the default timeout and example usage. As with mDNS helper, there is no NAT support for the time being as that would probably require kernel side changes and certainly further study (and could possibly work only for source NAT).

* systemd: default to use libsystemd if build with support for itArturo Borrero Gonzalez2018-04-184-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We may assume that if an user does build conntrackd with such feature, is with the intention to use it. So, if that's the case, default to use it. This eases some downstream use cases when dealing with default configs to be shipped to final users. This could be a mid-point solution, given some users are asking for a full revert of commit c01d0d9138112ec95ee316385ea2687dd94fa4e3.

* conntrackd: make the daemon run in RT mode by defaultArturo Borrero Gonzalez2017-06-125-103/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to prevent netlink buffer overrun, conntrackd is recommended to run at max priority. Make conntrackd to use a RT (SHED_RR) scheduler by default at max priority. This is common among other HA daemons. For example corosync uses SCHED_RR by default. The scheduler configuration option is kept in order to allow admins to perform fine-tuning, but it is deleted from example configuration files. Note that this default sched priority is so high that it makes the nice value useless, so deprecate the nice configuration. Anyway the nice value can be set externally at runtime using nice/renice. The code is moved to the init() routine. In case of error setting the scheduler, the system default will be used. Report a message to the user and continue working.

* conntrackd: deprecate unix backlog configurationArturo Borrero Gonzalez2017-06-065-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | This configuration option doesn't add any value to users. Use the magic value of 100 (i.e, the socket will keep 100 pending connections), which I think is fair enough for what conntrackd can do in the unix socket.

* conntrackd: cthelper: ssdp: Track UPnP eventingKevin Cernekee2017-02-121-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UPnP Device Architecture spec provides a way for devices to connect back to control points, called "Eventing" (chapter 4). This sequence can look something like: 1) Outbound multicast M-SEARCH packet (dst: 1900/udp) - Create expectation for unicast reply from <any host> to source port 2) Inbound unicast reply (there may be several of these from different devices) - Find the device's URL, e.g. LOCATION: http://192.168.1.123:1400/xml/device_description.xml - Create expectation to track connections to this host:port (tcp) 3) Outbound connection to device's web server (there will be several of these) - Watch for a SUBSCRIBE request - Find the control point's callback URL, e.g. CALLBACK: <http://192.168.1.124:3500/notify> - Create expectation to open up inbound connections to this host:port 4) Inbound connections to control point's web server - The device will send NOTIFY HTTP requests to inform the control point of new events. These can continue indefinitely. Each NOTIFY request arrives on a new TCP connection and may have a different source port. Add the necessary code to create expectations for each of these connections and rewrite the IP in the CALLBACK URL. Tested with and without NAT.

* conntrackd: cthelper: Add new mdns helperKevin Cernekee2016-09-091-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | This allows unicast replies to multicast DNS (mDNS / RFC6762) queries. These queries are often used when a full-featured mDNS service (such as avahi-daemon) is not running, or if an mDNS client does not have permission to bind to port 5353.

* conntrackd: Disable runtime systemd support by defaultPablo Neira Ayuso2016-02-174-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | By default, conntrackd is compiled with no built-in systemd support. This patch updates the default runtime behaviour to be consistent with what ./configure provides by default. Thus, users should explicitly indicate "Systemd On" in their configuration file to enable this. This shouldn't cause any problem to old users of conntrackd.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds basic systemd support. The feature can be enabled/disabled at configure time: ./configure --disable-systemd Also, at runtime in conntrackd.conf General { Systemd on|off } (by default it's enabled both at runtime and at configure time) * tell systemd about conntrackd readiness: When conntrackd starts, it will send systemd the data "READY=1". At the point the data is sent, conntrackd is fully ready to work (configuration was OK, sockets OK, et all), so other actions depending on conntrackd can be safely chained in the machine boot process. * tell systemd about conntrackd shutting down: If the admin kills conntrackd with `conntrackd -k', the data "STOPPING=1" will be send to systemd so it learns about the daemon shutting down. Same for manual signals. * watchdog support: The admin can configure systemd to watch the conntrackd daemon and perform some actions if conntrackd dies: restart it, reboot the machine, etc...

This addition aims to re-use as much as possible of the existing infrastructure for stability reasons. The expectation support has been tested with the FTP helper. This extension requires libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.0. If this is the first time you're playing with conntrackd, I *strongly* recommend you to get working setup of conntrackd without expectation support before as described in the documentation. Then, enabling expectation support is rather easy. To know more about expectations, if you're not familiar with them, I suggest you to read: "Netfilter's Connection Tracking System" http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/docs/login.pdf Reprinted from ;login: The Magazine of USENIX, vol. 31, no. 3 (Berkeley, CA: USENIX Association, 2006, pp40-45.) In short, expectations allow one Linux firewall to filter multi-flow traffic like FTP, SIP and H.323. In my testbed, there are two firewalls in a primary-backup configuration running keepalived. The use a couple of floating cluster IP address (192.168.0.100 and 192.168.1.100) that are used by the client. These firewalls protect one FTP server (192.168.1.2) that will be accessed by one client. In ASCII art, it looks like this: 192.168.0.100 192.168.1.100 eth1 eth2 fw-1 / \ FTP -- client ------ ------ server -- 192.168.0.2 \ / 192.168.1.2 fw-2 This is the rule-set for the firewalls: -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.2/32 -d 192.168.1.2/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.100 -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth2 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "invalid: " The following steps detail how to check that the expectation support works fine for conntrackd: 1) You have to enable the expectation support in the configuration file with the following option: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync { ftp sip h323 } } } This enables expectation synchronization for the FTP, SIP and H.323 helpers. You can alternatively use: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync On } } To enable expectation synchronization for all helpers. 2) Make sure you have loaded the FTP helper in both firewalls. root@fw1# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp root@fw2# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp 3) Switch to the client. Start one FTP control connection to one server that is protected by the firewalls, enter passive mode: (term-1) user@client$ nc 192.168.1.2 21 220 dummy FTP server USER anonymous 331 Please specify the password. PASS nothing 230 Login successful. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). This means that port 163*256+11=41739 will be used for the data traffic. Read this if you are not familiar with the FTP protocol: http://www.freefire.org/articles/ftpexample.php 3) Switch to fw-1 (primary) to check that the expectation is in the internal cache. root@fw1# conntrackd -i exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 5s] 4) Switch to fw-2 (backup) to check that the expectation has been successfully replicated. root@fw2# conntrackd -e exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 8s] 5) Make the primary firewall fw-1 fail. Now fw-2 becomes primary. 6) Switch to fw-2 (primary) to commit the external cache into the kernel. root@fw2# conntrackd -c exp The logs should display that the commit was successful: root@fw2# tail -100f /var/log/conntrackd.log [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] committing external cache: expectations [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] Committed 1 new entries [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] commit has taken 0.000366 seconds 7) Switch to the client. Open a new terminal and connect to the port that has been announced by the server: (term-2) user@client$ nc -vvv 192.168.1.2 41739 (UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 41739 (?) open 8) Switch to term-1 and ask for the file listing: [...] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). LIST 9) Switch to term-2, it should display the listing. That means everything has worked fine. You may want to try disabling the expectation support and repeating the steps to check that *it does not work* without the state-synchronization. You can also display expectation statistics by means of: root@fwX# conntrackd -s exp This update requires no changes in the primary-backup.sh script that is used by the HA manager to interact with conntrackd. Thus, we provide a backward compatible command line interface. Regarding the Filter clause and expectations, we use the master conntrack to filter expectation events. The filtering is performed in user-space. No kernel-space filtering support for expectations yet (this support should go in libnetfilter_conntrack at some point). This patch also includes support to disable caching and to allow direct injection of expectations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
