Can anyone propose a patch that I can start checking?
I have come up with the following:
--- net/core/netfilter.c.orig 2005-04-18 21:55:30.000000000 +0300 +++ net/core/netfilter.c 2005-05-02 17:35:20.000000000 +0300 @@ -622,9 +622,10 @@ /* some non-standard hacks like ipt_REJECT.c:send_reset() can cause * packets with foreign saddr to appear on the NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT hook. */ - if (inet_addr_type(iph->saddr) == RTN_LOCAL) { + if ((inet_addr_type(iph->saddr) == RTN_LOCAL) || + (inet_addr_type(iph->daddr) == RTN_LOCAL)) { fl.nl_u.ip4_u.daddr = iph->daddr; - fl.nl_u.ip4_u.saddr = iph->saddr; + fl.nl_u.ip4_u.saddr = 0; fl.nl_u.ip4_u.tos = RT_TOS(iph->tos); fl.oif = (*pskb)->sk ?
