In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: filter some flags received in the backup server
While the IPVS SYNC protocol is not secure by design
we can still protect the backup server from messages that
can wreak havoc.
This commit addresses problems from received connection flags
or their combinations. We now drop messages as follows:
1. the NO_CPORT+TEMPLATE combination allows lookups for normal
connections to hit template which can break in many ways.
While the master does not sync connections with NO_CPORT flag,
i.e. before they are established, we still accept NO_CPORT
without TEMPLATE.
2. ONE_PACKET: it is not sent by master, so we do not
expect it in backup. Before now it was ignored by
IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKUP_MASK for protocol v1 while protocol
v0 created connections that are not hashed and dropped
immediately. Better to apply the IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKUP_MASK
also to the flags from v0 messages for consistency with v1.
