[PATCH?] Re: UNCLEAN match weirdness with 2.4.7

Dans un message du 02 aoû à 2:24, Guillaume Morin écrivait :
> Aug 2 02:10:29 pantera kernel: ipt_unclean: TCP flags bad: 4
> Aug 2 02:10:29 pantera kernel: UNCLEAN: IN=ppp0 OUT=eth1 SRC=198.186.203.85

Ok, I've read the source, so a RST packet is considered as unclean.
(#define TH_RST 0x04)

The related part in ipt_unclean.c is

if (tcpflags != TH_SYN
&& tcpflags != (TH_SYN|TH_ACK)
&& tcpflags != (TH_RST|TH_ACK)
&& tcpflags != (TH_RST|TH_ACK|TH_PUSH)
&& tcpflags != (TH_FIN|TH_ACK)
&& tcpflags != TH_ACK
&& tcpflags != (TH_ACK|TH_PUSH)
&& tcpflags != (TH_ACK|TH_URG)
&& tcpflags != (TH_ACK|TH_URG|TH_PUSH)
&& tcpflags != (TH_FIN|TH_ACK|TH_PUSH)
&& tcpflags != (TH_FIN|TH_ACK|TH_URG)
&& tcpflags != (TH_FIN|TH_ACK|TH_URG|TH_PUSH)) {

I do not see why neither RST nor FIN packets are not listed. This part
has not changed since 2.4.4, so this it was not called for at least
FIN and RST packets in 2.4.4. I've diffed all netfilter c files, but I
still cannot figure out why this behavior has changed.

This naive trivial patch would fix the problem, but I am pretty sure it
is not the root of problem.

Any help,comments on this are welcome.

TIA. Regards,
