  • When conntracks change during a dialog, SDP messages may be sent from
    different conntracks to establish expects with identical tuples. In this
    case expects conflict may be detected for the 2nd SDP message and end up
    with a process failure.

    The fixing here is to reuse an existing expect who has the same tuple for a
    different conntrack if any.

    Here are two scenarios for the case.

    1)
    SERVER CPE

    | INVITE SDP |
    5060 ||5060
    | 183 SDP |
    5060 |---------------------->|5060 ===> Conntrack 1
    | PRACK |
    50601 ||5060
    | 200 OK (INVITE) |
    5060 |---------------------->|5060
    | ACK |
    50601 ||
    | |
    | INVITE SDP (t38) |
    50601 |---------------------->|5060 ===> Conntrack 2

    With a certain configuration in the CPE, SIP messages "183 with SDP" and
    "re-INVITE with SDP t38" will go through the sip helper to create
    expects for RTP and RTCP.

    It is okay to create RTP and RTCP expects for "183", whose master
    connection source port is 5060, and destination port is 5060.

    In the "183" message, port in Contact header changes to 50601 (from the
    original 5060). So the following requests e.g. PRACK and ACK are sent to
    port 50601. It is a different conntrack (let call Conntrack 2) from the
    original INVITE (let call Conntrack 1) due to the port difference.

    In this example, after the call is established, there is RTP stream but no
    RTCP stream for Conntrack 1, so the RTP expect created upon "183" is
    cleared, and RTCP expect created for Conntrack 1 retains.

    When "re-INVITE with SDP t38" arrives to create RTP&RTCP expects, current
    ALG implementation will call nf_ct_expect_related() for RTP and RTCP. The
    expects tuples are identical to those for Conntrack 1. RTP expect for
    Conntrack 2 succeeds in creation as the one for Conntrack 1 has been
    removed. RTCP expect for Conntrack 2 fails in creation because it has
    idential tuples and 'conflict' with the one retained for Conntrack 1. And
    then result in a failure in processing of the re-INVITE.

    2)

    SERVER A CPE

    | REGISTER |
    5060 | CT1
    | 200 |
    5060 |------------------>| 5060
    | |
    | INVITE SDP(1) |
    5060 || 5060 SERVER B
    | ACK |
    5060 || 5060 ==> CT2
    | 100 |
    5060 || 50601 ==> CT3
    | |
    ||
    | |
    | BYE |
    5060 || 50601
    | INVITE SDP(3) |
    5060 | CT1

    CPE sends an INVITE request(1) to Server A, and creates a RTP&RTCP expect
    pair for this Conntrack 1 (CT1). Server A responds 300 to redirect to
    Server B. The RTP&RTCP expect pairs created on CT1 are removed upon 300
    response.

    CPE sends the INVITE request(2) to Server B, and creates an expect pair
    for the new conntrack (due to destination address difference), let call
    CT2. Server B changes the port to 50601 in 200 OK response, and the
    following requests ACK and BYE from CPE are sent to 50601. The call is
    established. There is RTP stream and no RTCP stream. So RTP expect is
    removed and RTCP expect for CT2 retains.

    As BYE request is sent from port 50601, it is another conntrack, let call
    CT3, different from CT2 due to the port difference. So the BYE request will
    not remove the RTCP expect for CT2.

    Then another outgoing call is made, with the same RTP port being used (not
    definitely but possibly). CPE firstly sends the INVITE request(3) to Server
    A, and tries to create a RTP&RTCP expect pairs for this CT1. In current ALG
    implementation, the RTCP expect for CT1 fails in creation because it
    'conflicts' with the residual one for CT2. As a result the INVITE request
    fails to send.

  • Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
    situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
    in case that happens:

    nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

    However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
    packet can be dropped.

    This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
    error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
    the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

    nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

    Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.
