Subject: [PATCH nf v2 2/2] netfilter: br_netfilter: clear stale VLAN tag on refragmented packets
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 23:24:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004212429.3648-3-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261004212429.3648-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com>
Bridged packets that conntrack reassembles and br_netfilter refragments
can leave a port that is an untagged member of their VLAN with all but
the first fragment still carrying the ingress VLAN tag.
With bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged enabled, conntrack defrag keeps the
original fragments on the frag_list of the reassembled skb, and each of
them keeps the tag it had on ingress. br_handle_vlan() only strips the
tag of the head skb. When that skb is not cloned, ip_do_fragment() and
ip6_fragment() send the frag_list skbs as the fragments, and
br_nf_push_frag_xmit() only ever sets a tag.
This was triggered with a reproducer that sends fragmented IPv4 and
IPv6 packets in VLAN 10 to a port that is untagged in VLAN 10, through
a static FDB entry. The first fragment of each packet left untagged and
the others left tagged:
... ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 1514: vlan 10, p 0,
ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), fd00:10::1 > fd00:10::4:
frag (1448|1448)
IPv6 became affected when commit efb6de9b4ba0 ("netfilter: bridge:
forward IPv6 fragmented packets") added IPv6 refragmentation.
IPv4 has been affected since commit 7885198861fc ("bridge: Implement
vlan ingress/egress policy with PVID.") made the bridge strip the tag on
untagged egress, when IPv4 defragmentation retained fragments on
frag_list. Commit 14fe22e33462 ("Revert "ipv4: use skb coalescing in
defragmentation"") later restored unconditional frag_list reuse.
Clear the tag when no tag was saved, as nf_ct_bridge_frag_restore()
does on the nf_conntrack_bridge path.
Fixes: efb6de9b4ba0 ("netfilter: bridge: forward IPv6 fragmented packets")
Fixes: 7885198861fc ("bridge: Implement vlan ingress/egress policy with PVID.")
