[PATCH] audit: fix incomplete NETFILTER_PKT records and return void

[PATCH] audit: fix incomplete NETFILTER_PKT records and return void

[JiangJieHua]

Commit f19590b07cb6 ("audit: add audit_log_nf_skb helper function") and
commit 15b0c43aa621 ("audit: include source and destination ports to
NETFILTER_PKT") introduced audit_log_nf_skb() and its transport header
parsing.

The helper returned early with -ENOMEM when skb_header_pointer() failed for
the network header, and the later port parsing did the same for the
transport header.  Such an early return skips the remaining fields, so the
NETFILTER_PKT record is emitted with only "mark=" and without the address
and protocol fields.

Log the address and protocol once the network header is available, and
route the error paths through placeholder logging: a missing network header
logs "saddr=? daddr=? proto=-1", as the pre-refactoring callers did, and a
transport header that cannot be read where one is expected logs
"sport=? dport=?".  The same "proto=-1" placeholder is used for an
unknown bridge ethertype and an unknown nfproto, which previously printed
"proto=?".

Validate the IP version and the IPv4 header length, since bridge packets
can reach the audit hook without the receive path validating them.  Locate
the transport header from the network header instead of relying on
skb_transport_offset(), which is not guaranteed to point at the transport
header.  For IPv4, a non-first fragment or an unreadable transport header
logs unknown ports; protocols without ports are unaffected.  For IPv6, a
non-first fragment leaves proto at IPPROTO_FRAGMENT (44) and a negative
offset from ipv6_skip_exthdr() means the extension header chain cannot be
parsed; in both cases the transport header is not available, so keep the
addresses and protocol and do not log ports.

Both callers ignore the return value (net/netfilter/nft_log.c and
net/netfilter/xt_AUDIT.c), so make the helper return void instead of
inventing error codes for a value nobody consumes.

A packet whose network header cannot be read now logs:

  before: mark=0x0
  after:  mark=0x0 saddr=? daddr=? proto=-1

A TCP packet whose transport header cannot be read now logs:

  before: mark=0x0
  after:  mark=0x0 saddr=10.20.0.2 daddr=10.20.0.1 proto=6 sport=? dport=?

I guess conntrack is not enough in your scenario. How does your
ruleset look like?

Are we going to add all these validations everywhere in the code?

So we will have to validate that the IPv4 header is well-formed over
and over again?

Bridge doesn't check/validate ip headers.

I agree it would be best to have a central helper for this, this
copypastry has gotten out of hand.

This code looks very, very confusing. :(
