            Bug ID: 1362
           Summary: iptables translation issues
           Product: nftables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: iptables over nftable
          Assignee: pablo at netfilter.org
          Reporter: arturo at debian.org

Bug originally reported in the Debian tracker:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916918

It probably contains several different issues in the same reports, sorry for
that. But the report contains useful information to reproduce each case anyway.

Original message follows:

bash# iptables-translate -A INPUT -s 0.0.0.0/8 -j DROP
nft add rule ip filter INPUT counter drop
bash#

(ignores source address match to yield a rule that drops everything)
(0.0.0.0/8 != 0.0.0.0/0)

bash# iptables-translate -6 -A protect-re -s 2001:db8:19::/64 -p tcp 
--sport 80 -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip filter protect-re ip6 saddr 2001:db8::ffff:ffff:0:0/0 
tcp sport 80 counter accept
bash#

(borks the source address match completely)

The last example is converted correctly by ip6tables-translate. But as I 
used to have ipv4 and ipv6 rules in the same file, I'm baffled by why 
iptables-restore-translate even tries to convert the ipv6 rules. Surely 
it should just skip them?

I also ran into a baffling error message for a rule that uses the 
multiport module, and couldn't find a workaround or even what the real 
problem was:

iptables-translate-restore v1.8.2 (nf_tables): multiport needs `-p tcp', 
`-p udp', `-p udplite', `-p sctp' or `-p dccp'

Here's an attempt to manually translate the line in question:

bash# iptables-translate -4 -A protect-re  -m multiport -p udp -s 
10.0.0.0/24 --ports 161,514  -j ACCEPT
nft # -4 -A protect-re -m multiport -p udp -s 10.0.0.0/24 --ports 
161,514 -j ACCEPT
bash#
