    netfilter: seqadj: Fix the wrong ack adjust for the RST packet without ack · 8d11350f

    It is valid that the TCP RST packet which does not set ack flag, and bytes
    of ack number are zero. But current seqadj codes would adjust the "0" ack
    to invalid ack number. Actually seqadj need to check the ack flag before
    adjust it for these RST packets.
    
    The following is my test case
    
    client is 10.26.98.245, and add one iptable rule:
    iptables  -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 12345 -m connbytes --connbytes 2:
    --connbytes-dir reply --connbytes-mode packets -j REJECT --reject-with
    tcp-reset
    This iptables rule could generate on TCP RST without ack flag.
    
    server:10.172.135.55
    Enable the synproxy with seqadjust by the following iptables rules
    iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.172.135.55 --dport 12345
    -m tcp --syn -j CT --notrack
    
    iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.172.135.55 --dport 12345 -m conntrack
    --ctstate INVALID,UNTRACKED -j SYNPROXY --sack-perm --timestamp --wscale 7
    --mss 1460
    iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s 10.172.135.55 --sport 12345 -m conntrack
    --ctstate INVALID,UNTRACKED -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN,ACK -j ACCEPT
    
    The following is my test result.
    
    1. packet trace on client
    root@routers:/tmp# tcpdump -i eth0 tcp port 12345 -n
    tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

    options [nop,nop,TS val 452367885 ecr 15643479], length 0
    IP 10.172.135.55.12345 > 10.26.98.245.45154: Flags [.], ack 1, win 226,
    options [nop,nop,TS val 15643479 ecr 452367885], length 0

    win 0, length 0
    
    2. seqadj log on server
    [62873.867319] Adjusting sequence number from 602341895->546723267,
    ack from 3695959830->3695959830
    [62873.867644] Adjusting sequence number from 602341895->546723267,
    ack from 3695959830->3695959830
    [62873.869040] Adjusting sequence number from 3695959830->3695959830,
    ack from 0->55618628
    
    To summarize, it is clear that the seqadj codes adjust the 0 ack when receive
    one TCP RST packet without ack.
