>Description:
ipfw command is used to configure kernel nat.
ipfw option 'same_ports' seems to be ignored while configuration and kernel nat (libalias) always behaves like this option was enabled.
E.g.
If we send packet from 10.0.0.5 port 200
with same_ports packed should be aliased (if possible) to <alias_addr>:200
and w/o same_ports to <alias_addr>:<random_port>
Currently packets are aliased to port 200 in both cases
ipfw nat 1 config if em1 same_ports
and
ipfw nat 1 config if em1
>How-To-Repeat:
Test kernel is:
-------------
ident TEST
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPDIVERT
options LIBALIAS
options IPFIREWALL_NAT
include GENERIC
-------------
ipfw is configured in next way:
ipfw nat 1 config if em1
ipfw add 100 nat 1 ip from any to any via em1
Network layout is
client --(em0) natbox (em1)-- internet
At client I use python script to bind to port 200 and send packets to internet.
At natbox I can check packets with tcpdump -n -i em1
>Fix:
I suppose that there is a bug in
sys/netpfil/ipfw/ip_fw_nat.c
LibAliasSetMode has next prototype
/* Change mode for some operations */
unsigned int
LibAliasSetMode(
struct libalias *la,
unsigned int flags, /* Which state to bring flags to */
unsigned int mask /* Mask of which flags to affect (use 0 to
* do a probe for flag values) */
)
and it is called in wrong way
LibAliasSetMode(ptr->lib, cfg->mode, cfg->mode);
This code will set only the bits that are 1 (ones). But we need to clear bit that is responsible for SAME_PORTS so this bit value should be 0 in mode and 1 in mask.
So since same_ports are enable by default in libalias and ipfw fails to change it we have described incorrect behavior.
