Title
netfilter: nf_conncount: fix zone comparison in tuple dedup
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conncount: fix zone comparison in tuple dedup The "already exists" dedup logic in __nf_conncount_add() decides whether a connection has already been counted and can be skipped instead of incrementing the connlimit count. It compares the conntrack zone of a list entry with the zone of the connection being added using nf_ct_zone_id() and nf_ct_zone_equal(), passing conn->zone.dir or zone->dir as the direction argument. Those helpers take enum ip_conntrack_dir values: IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL is 0 and IP_CT_DIR_REPLY is 1. However, zone->dir is a u8 bitmask: NF_CT_ZONE_DIR_ORIG is 1, NF_CT_ZONE_DIR_REPL is 2 and NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR is 3. Passing that bitmask as the enum direction shifts the meaning of every non-zero value. An ORIG-only zone passes 1 and is tested as REPLY, while REPL-only and default zones pass 2 or 3 and test bits beyond the valid direction range. In those cases nf_ct_zone_id() can fall back to NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID instead of using the real zone id, so different zones can be treated as equal and dedup collapses to tuple equality alone. nf_conncount stores and compares the original-direction tuple for a connection. If an skb already has an attached conntrack entry, get_ct_or_tuple_from_skb() explicitly copies ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL].tuple, regardless of the packet's ctinfo. Therefore the zone comparison in the tuple dedup path must use IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL as well; the zone direction bitmask describes where a zone id applies, not which direction this conncount tuple represents. Fix the two dedup comparisons by passing IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL directly. Do not special-case NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR and do not compare raw zone ids: using the existing helpers with IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL preserves the direction-aware NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID fallback. A default bidirectional zone contains the ORIG bit, so it naturally returns the real zone id; reply-only zones continue to fall back for original-direction tuple comparisons.

It compares the conntrack zone of a\\nlist entry with the zone of the connection being added using\\nnf_ct_zone_id() and nf_ct_zone_equal(), passing conn-\u003ezone.dir or\\nzone-\u003edir as the direction argument.\\n\\nThose helpers take enum ip_conntrack_dir values: IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL is 0\\nand IP_CT_DIR_REPLY is 1.  However, zone-\u003edir is a u8 bitmask:\\nNF_CT_ZONE_DIR_ORIG is 1, NF_CT_ZONE_DIR_REPL is 2 and\\nNF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR is 3.  Passing that bitmask as the enum direction\\nshifts the meaning of every non-zero value.  An ORIG-only zone passes 1\\nand is tested as REPLY, while REPL-only and default zones pass 2 or 3 and\\ntest bits beyond the valid direction range.  In those cases\\nnf_ct_zone_id() can fall back to NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID instead of using\\nthe real zone id, so different zones can be treated as equal and dedup\\ncollapses to tuple equality alone.\\n\\nnf_conncount stores and compares the original-direction tuple for a\\nconnection.  If an skb already has an attached conntrack entry,\\nget_ct_or_tuple_from_skb() explicitly copies\\nct-\u003etuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL].tuple, regardless of the packet\u0027s\\nctinfo.  Therefore the zone comparison in the tuple dedup path must use\\nIP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL as well; the zone direction bitmask describes where a\\nzone id applies, not which direction this conncount tuple represents.\\n\\nFix the two dedup comparisons by passing IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL directly.\\nDo not special-case NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR and do not compare raw zone\\nids: using the existing helpers with IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL preserves the\\ndirection-aware NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID fallback.  A default bidirectional\\nzone contains the ORIG bit, so it naturally returns the real zone id;\\nreply-only zones continue to fall back for original-direction tuple\\ncomparisons.\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"82fc35e0da9a91db9a034f8311f18f77a599ae3f\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"78b5d6dbc860776161f9e9206b06ff8a01f531ab\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"4f30a89c0ed2418719a1144881c2635b940b543d\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"7bdc3c0985ecf17b957811fedcc684acdf698acc\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"35a56e2a46b90e6bd4ca816b80e9cb8d20dfc3ce\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"3cd9a5792cbea81139c24320986dd0db69e9b5d0\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"6ff07ac5405bea4d4ead3559fc123f987576424a\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"21ba8847f857028dc83a0f341e16ecc616e34740\",\"lessThan\":\"f62c41b4910e65da396ec9a8c40c1fe7fe82e449\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"525e1dffed8711973f77412729621098a95238e5\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"75af3d78168e654a5cd8bbc4c774f97be836165f\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"4.14.92\",\"lessThan\":\"4.15\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"4.18\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"4.18\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.10.261\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.10.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.15.212\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.15.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.178\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.145\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.97\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.18.40\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.18.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.1.5\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"7.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.2\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":7.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35a56e2a46b90e6bd4ca816b80e9cb8d20dfc3ce\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3cd9a5792cbea81139c24320986dd0db69e9b5d0\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f30a89c0ed2418719a1144881c2635b940b543d\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ff07ac5405bea4d4ead3559fc123f987576424a\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78b5d6dbc860776161f9e9206b06ff8a01f531ab\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7bdc3c0985ecf17b957811fedcc684acdf698acc\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82fc35e0da9a91db9a034f8311f18f77a599ae3f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f62c41b4910e65da396ec9a8c40c1fe7fe82e449\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}",
