netfilter: nf_nat_sctp: fix ICMP packet to be dropped accidently Regarding RFC 792, the first 64 bits of the original SCTP datagram's data could be contained in ICMP packet, such as: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Code | Checksum | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | unused | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Internet Header + 64 bits of Original Data Datagram | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ However, according to RFC 4960, SCTP datagram header is as below: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Source Port Number | Destination Port Number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Verification Tag | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Checksum | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ It means only the first three fields of SCTP header can be carried in ICMP packet except for Checksum field. At present in sctp_manip_pkt(), no matter whether the packet is ICMP or not, it always calculates SCTP packet checksum. However, not only the calculation of checksum is unnecessary for ICMP, but also it causes another fatal issue that ICMP packet is dropped. The header size of SCTP is used to identify whether the writeable length of skb is bigger than skb->len through skb_make_writable() in sctp_manip_pkt(). But when it deals with ICMP packet, skb_make_writable() directly returns false as the writeable length of skb is bigger than skb->len. Subsequently ICMP is dropped. Now we correct this misbahavior. When sctp_manip_pkt() handles ICMP packet, 8 bytes rather than the whole SCTP header size is used to check if writeable length of skb is overflowed. Meanwhile, as it's meaningless to calculate checksum when packet is ICMP, the computation of checksum is ignored as well.
