<para>FTP transfers involve two TCP connections. The first <emphasis

|
role="bold">control</emphasis> connection goes from the FTP client to port
|
|
21 on the FTP server. This connection is used for logon and to send
|
|
commands and responses between the endpoints. Data transfers (including
|
|
the output of <quote>ls</quote> and <quote>dir</quote> commands) requires
|
|
a second data connection. The <emphasis role="bold">data</emphasis>
|
|
connection is dependent on the <emphasis role="bold">mode</emphasis> that
|
|
the client is operating in:</para>

<title>Linux FTP connection-tracking</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Given the normal loc->net policy of ACCEPT, passive mode access
|
|
from local clients to remote servers will always work but active mode
|
|
requires the firewall to dynamically open a <quote>hole</quote> for the
|
|
server's connection back to the client. Similarly, if you are running an
|
|
FTP server in your local zone then active mode should always work but
|
|
passive mode requires the firewall to dynamically open a
|
|
<quote>hole</quote> for the client's second connection to the server. This
|
|
is the role of FTP connection-tracking support in the Linux kernel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Where any form of NAT (SNAT, DNAT, Masquerading) on your firewall is
|
|
involved, the PORT commands and PASV responses may also need to be
|
|
modified by the firewall. This is the job of the FTP nat support kernel
|
|
function.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Including FTP connection-tracking and NAT support normally means
|
|
that the modules <quote>nf_conntrack_ftp</quote> and
|
|
<quote>nf_nat_ftp</quote> need to be loaded. Shorewall automatically loads
|
|
these <quote>helper</quote> modules from
|
|
/lib/modules/<<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>>/kernel/net/netfilter/
|
|
and you can determine if they are loaded using the <quote>lsmod</quote>
|
|
command. The <<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>> may be obtained
|
|
by typing</para>

<programlisting><command>uname -r</command></programlisting>
|

|
|
<important>
|
|
<para>Note: If you are running kernel 2.6.19 or earlier, then the module
|
|
names are <emphasis role="bold">ip_nat_ftp</emphasis> and <emphasis
|
|
role="bold">ip_conntrack_ftp</emphasis> and they are normally loaded

from

|
|
</important>
|
|
|
|
<important>
|
|
<para>Because the ftp helper modules must read and modify commands being

sent over the command channel, they won't work when the command channel

is encrypted through use of TLS/SSL.</para>

<title>FTP with Kernel 3.5 and Later</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Because of the potential for attackers to subvert Netfilter helpers
|
|
like the one for FTP, the Netfilter team are in the process of eliminating
|
|
the automatic association of helpers to connections. In the 3.5 kernel, it
|
|
is possible to disable this automatic association, and the team have
|
|
announced that automatic association will eventually be eliminated. While
|
|
it is certainly more secure to add explicit rules that create these
|
|
associations, for Shorewall to require users to add those rules would
|
|
present a gross inconvenience during a Shorewall upgrade. To make
|
|
Shorewall and kernel upgrades as smooth as possible, several new features
|
|
were added to the Shorewall 4.5.7:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Shorewall automatically disables the kernel's automatic
|
|
association of helpers to connections on kernel 3.5 and later.</para>

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>An automatic association of helpers with connections that
|
|
performs the same function as in the pre-3.5 kernels has been added.
|
|
This automatic association is controlled by the AUTOHELPERS
|
|
shorewall.conf option which is set to 'Yes' by default.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>A HELPERS column has been added to the /etc/shorewall/rules In
|
|
the NEW section: When the ACTION is ACCEPT, DNAT or REDIRECT, the
|
|
specified helper is automatically associated with the
|
|
connection.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>HELPERS may be specified in action files, macros and in the
|
|
rules file itself. In the RELATED section: The rule will only match
|
|
related connections that have the named helper attached. - The
|
|
standard Macros for applications requiring a helper (FTP, IRC, etc)
|
|
have been modified to automatically specify the correct helper in the
|
|
HELPER column.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>HELPER is now a valid action in /etc/shorewall/rules. This
|
|
action requires that a helper be present in the HELPER column and
|
|
causes the specified helper to be associated with connections matching
|
|
the rule. No destination zone should be specified in HELPER rules.
|
|
HELPER rules allow specification of a helper for connections that are
|
|
ACCEPTed by the applicable policy.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> Example (loc->net policy is ACCEPT) - In
|
|
/etc/shorewall/rules:</para>
|
|

|

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para> The set of enabled helpers (either by AUTOHELPERS=Yes or by the
|
|
HELPERS column) can be taylored using the new HELPERS option in
|
|
shorewall.conf. </para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>By making AUTOHELPERS=Yes the default, users can upgrade their
|
|
systems to a 3.5+ kernel without disrupting the operation of their
|
|
firewalls. Beyond such upgrades, we suggest setting AUTOHELPERS=No and
|
|
follow one of two strategies:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Use the HELPERS column in the rules file to enable helpers as
|
|
needed (preferred); or</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Taylor the conntrack file to enable helpers on only those
|
|
connections that are required.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>With either of these approaches, the list if available helpers can
|
|
be trimmed using the HELPERS option and rules can be added to the RELATED
|
|
section of the rules file to further restrict the effect of helpers. The
|
|
implementation of these new function places conditional rules in the
|
|
/etc/shorewall[6]/conntrack file. These rules are included conditionally
|
|
based in the setting of AUTOHELPERS.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> Example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST SOURCE USER/ SWITCH
|
|
# PORT(S) PORT(S) GROUP
|
|
?if $AUTOHELPERS && __CT_TARGET

?if __FTP_HELPER

CT:helper:ftp all - tcp 21
|
|
?endif
|
|
...
|
|
?endif</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para> __FTP_HELPER evaluates to false if the HELPERS setting is non-empty
|
|
and 'ftp' is not listed in that setting. For example, if you only need FTP
|
|
access from your 'loc' zone, then add this rule outside of the outer-most
|
|
?if....?endif shown above.</para>

<para>The above discussion about commands and responses makes it clear
|
|
that the FTP connection-tracking and NAT helpers must scan the traffic on
|
|
the control connection looking for PASV and PORT commands as well as PASV
|
|
responses. If you run an FTP server on a nonstandard port or you need to
|
|
access such a server, you must therefore let the helpers know by
|
|
specifying the port in <filename>/etc/shorewall/modules</filename> entries
|
|
for the helpers. You should create<filename>
|
|
/etc/shorewall/modules</filename> by copying
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/modules</filename>.<caution>
|
|
<para>You must have modularized FTP connection tracking support in
|
|
order to use FTP on a non-standard port.</para>

<para>Shorewall includes an FTP macro that simplifies creation of FTP

rules. The macro source is in

<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/macro.FTP</filename>. Using the macro is

the preferred way to generate the rules described above. Here are a couple

of examples.</para>

<para>I see this problem occasionally with the FTP server in my DMZ. My

solution is to add the following rule:</para>
