Subject: masquerading failure for at least icmp and tcp+sack on amd64
Hi!
I recently upgraded a 32 bit machine to a new amd64 board+cpu. I took the
same kernel (2.6.13-rc7) and just recompiled it for 64 bit, plus upgraded
userspace to 64 bit.
Firewall config stayed the same.
Problem: neither ping nor tcp was being masqueraded properly. I created
the following test-set-up:
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t filter -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p all -s 10.0.0.0/8 -d \! 10.0.0.0/8 -j
MASQUERADE
i..e the above masquerade rule should be the only firewall rule, and all
fules shoul[d have policy ACCEPT.
The effect was that tcp packets and icmp packets coming from 10.0.0.1 on
interface eth0 were properly masqueraded on the outgoing "inet" interface
(ppp0 renamed):
eth0:
19:17:24.364351 IP 10.0.0.1.44320 > 129.13.162.95.80: S
3745828676:3745828676(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK>
inet:
19:17:24.364505 IP 84.56.237.68.44320 > 129.13.162.95.80: S
3745828676:3745828676(0) win 5840 <mss 1452,nop,nop,sackOK>
19:17:24.378029 IP 129.13.162.95.80 > 84.56.237.68.44320: S
3777391404:3777391404(0) ack 3745828677 win 5840 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK>
19:17:24.378103 IP 84.56.237.68.44320 > 129.13.162.95.80: R
3745828677:3745828677(0) win 0
However, the reverse packets were rejected. ip_conntrack showed this:
tcp 6 52 SYN_SENT src=10.0.0.1 dst=129.13.162.95 sport=44320 dport=80
[UNREPLIED] src=129.13.162.95 dst=84.56.237.68 sport=80 dport=44320 mark=0 use=1
ICMP echo replies were also masqueraded, but the reply was ignored.
Weird observation 1:
ip route del default
ip add default via 10.0.0.17
Resulted in working masquerading, this time over device "vpn0", which is
a tuntap-interface. Working means that outgoing packets were correctly
re-written with source 10.0.0.5 (local address of vpn0) and replie were
correctly "un"-translated.
Weird obervation 2:
Some sites could be connected to with TCP. It turned out that those
sites did not support TCP SACK. Indeed, turning off SACK either on the
remote side of a connection or on the origonator side resulted in workign
masquerading:
eth0:
19:23:29.928470 IP 10.0.0.1.45611 > 129.13.162.95.80: S
4113365634:4113365634(0) win 5840 <mss 1460>
19:23:29.942246 IP 129.13.162.95.80 > 10.0.0.1.45611: S
4161877683:4161877683(0) ack 4113365635 win 5840 <mss 1460>
19:23:29.942313 IP 10.0.0.1.45611 > 129.13.162.95.80: . ack 1 win 5840
inet:
19:23:29.928249 IP 84.56.237.68.45611 > 129.13.162.95.80: S
4113365634:4113365634(0) win 5840 <mss 1452>
19:23:29.942199 IP 129.13.162.95.80 > 84.56.237.68.45611: S
4161877683:4161877683(0) ack 4113365635 win 5840 <mss 1460>
19:23:29.942332 IP 84.56.237.68.45611 > 129.13.162.95.80: . ack 1 win 5840
However, ICMP still is not masqueraded.
Kernels that worked:
2.6.13-rc7, 2.6.12.5, 2.6.11 and lower, compiled for x86 with gcc-3.4
Kernels that don't work:
2.6.13-rc7 (compiled with gcc-3.4 and 4.0.2 debian), 2.6.13 (gcc-4.02)
Kernel configuration was exactly the same for the 2.6.13-rc7 kernels,
modulo the cpu and architectrue selections.
I have a somewhat nontrivial source routing set-up on that machine that I
could document more if that could be a possible reason for that problem. I
am confident that this is not a configuration error, as the configuraiton
worked basically unchanged since the 2.4 days, and I am confident it's not
a iptables setup problem either, as I can reproduce it with empty rules
except for the masquerading rule.
I did not mention UDP because I didn't test it, but it's likely that UDP
masquerading also fails.
Any idea at what I could look at or try out to find out more about this
problem?
