Subject: no ICMP port unreachable for UDP packets
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 01:14:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010725011432.A2405@ghanima.endorphin.org> (raw)
linux 2.4.7 doesn't reply with icmp port unreachable messages to udp packets
to an unbind udp port. strangely the icmp error message is only omitted for
eth0 but not for lo. (i assert it's only been omitted for non local
interfaces).
this behavior has confirmed for 2.4.7-pre8 and 2.4.7-final.
for both udp packets (from lo and from eth0) the icmp_send call in
net/ipv4/udp.c is reached, since UDP_INC_STATS_BH(UdpNoPorts) is called as
you can see from the increasing counter in /proc/net/snmp,
so the reply packet must be drop somewhere in icmp_send.
this bug should be easily reproducable with nmap and tcpdump.
greets, clemens
