netfilter: conntrack: check SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK for vtag setting in sctp_new
The annotation says in sctp_new(): "If it is a shutdown ack OOTB packet, we expect a return shutdown complete, otherwise an ABORT Sec 8.4 (5) and (8)". However, it does not check SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK before setting vtag[REPLY] in the conntrack entry(ct). Because of that, if the ct in Router disappears for some reason in [1] with the packet sequence like below: Client > Server: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 3201533963] Server > Client: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 972498433] Client > Server: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] Server > Client: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057809] Server > Client: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3075057809] Server > Client: sctp (1) [HB REQ] (the ct in Router disappears somehow) <-------- [1] Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB ACK] Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810] Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810] Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB REQ] Client > Server: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3075057810] Client > Server: sctp (1) [HB REQ] Client > Server: sctp (1) [ABORT] when processing HB ACK packet in Router it calls sctp_new() to initialize the new ct with vtag[REPLY] set to HB_ACK packet's vtag. Later when sending DATA from Client, all the SACKs from Server will get dropped in Router, as the SACK packet's vtag does not match vtag[REPLY] in the ct. The worst thing is the vtag in this ct will never get fixed by the upcoming packets from Server. This patch fixes it by checking SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK before setting vtag[REPLY] in the ct in sctp_new() as the annotation says. With this fix, it will leave vtag[REPLY] in ct to 0 in the case above, and the next HB REQ/ACK from Server is able to fix the vtag as its value is 0 in nf_conntrack_sctp_packet().
