<h1 >Firewall and network filtering in libvirt</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are three pieces of libvirt functionality which do network
|
|
|
|
|
filtering of some type.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
At a high level they are:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The virtual network driver
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
2018-05-03 11:14:19 +00:00
|
|
|
This provides an isolated bridge device (ie no physical NICs
|
2010-07-10 12:47:00 +00:00
|
|
|
enslaved). Guest TAP devices are attached to this bridge.
|
|
|
|
|
Guests can talk to each other and the host, and optionally the
|
|
|
|
|
wider world.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The QEMU driver MAC filtering
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
This provides a generic filtering of MAC addresses to prevent
|
|
|
|
|
the guest spoofing its MAC address. This is mostly obsoleted by
|
|
|
|
|
the next item, so won't be discussed further.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The network filter driver
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
This provides fully configurable, arbitrary network filtering
|
|
|
|
|
of traffic on guest NICs. Generic rulesets are defined at the
|
|
|
|
|
host level to control traffic in some manner. Rules sets are
|
|
|
|
|
then associated with individual NICs of a guest. While not as
|
|
|
|
|
expressive as directly using iptables/ebtables, this can still
|
|
|
|
|
do nearly everything you would want to on a guest NIC filter.

<h3><a id="fw-virtual-network-driver">The virtual network driver</a>
|
2010-07-10 12:47:00 +00:00
|
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The typical configuration for guests is to use bridging of the
|
|
|
|
|
physical NIC on the host to connect the guest directly to the LAN.
|
|
|
|
|
In RHEL6 there is also the possibility of using macvtap/sr-iov
|
|
|
|
|
and VEPA connectivity. None of this stuff plays nicely with wireless
|
|
|
|
|
NICs, since they will typically silently drop any traffic with a
|
|
|
|
|
MAC address that doesn't match that of the physical NIC.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Thus the virtual network driver in libvirt was invented. This takes
|
|
|
|
|
the form of an isolated bridge device (ie one with no physical NICs
|
|
|
|
|
enslaved). The TAP devices associated with the guest NICs are attached
|
|
|
|
|
to the bridge device. This immediately allows guests on a single host
|
|
|
|
|
to talk to each other and to the host OS (modulo host IPtables rules).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>libvirt then uses iptables to control what further connectivity is
|
|
|
|
|
available. There are three configurations possible for a virtual
|
|
|
|
|
network at time of writing:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>isolated: all off-node traffic is completely blocked</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>nat: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed, but MASQUERADED</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>forward: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The latter 'forward' case requires the virtual network be on a
|
|
|
|
|
separate sub-net from the main LAN, and that the LAN admin has
|
|
|
|
|
configured routing for this subnet. In the future we intend to
|
|
|
|
|
add support for IP subnetting and/or proxy-arp. This allows for
|
|
|
|
|
the virtual network to use the same subnet as the main LAN and
|
|
|
|
|
should avoid need for the LAN admin to configure special routing.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Libvirt will optionally also provide DHCP services to the virtual
|
|
|
|
|
network using DNSMASQ. In all cases, we need to allow DNS/DHCP
|
|
|
|
|
queries to the host OS. Since we can't predict whether the host
|
|
|
|
|
firewall setup is already allowing this, we insert 4 rules into
|
|
|
|
|
the head of the INPUT chain
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|

|
ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note we have restricted our rules to just the bridge associated
|
|
|
|
|
with the virtual network, to avoid opening undesirable holes in
|
|
|
|
|
the host firewall wrt the LAN/WAN.
|
|

</p>

network: set firewalld zone of bridges to "libvirt" zone when appropriate
This patch restores broken guest network connectivity after a host
firewalld is switched to using an nftables backend. It does this by
adding libvirt networks' bridge interfaces to the new "libvirt" zone
in firewalld.
After this patch, the bridge interface of any network created by
libvirt (when firewalld is active) will be added to the firewalld
zone called "libvirt" if it exists (regardless of the firewalld
backend setting). This behavior does *not* depend on whether or not
libvirt has installed the libvirt zone file (set with
"--with[out]-firewalld-zone" during the configure phase of the package
build).
If the libvirt zone doesn't exist (either because the package was
configured to not install it, or possibly it was installed, but
firewalld doesn't support rule priorities, resulting in a parse
error), the bridge will remain in firewalld's default zone, which
could be innocuous (in the case that the firewalld backend is
iptables, guest networking will still function properly with the
bridge in the default zone), or it could be disastrous (if the
firewalld backend is nftables, we can be assured that guest networking
will fail). In order to be unobtrusive in the former case, and
informative in the latter, when the libvirt zone doesn't exist we
then check the firewalld version to see if it's new enough to support
the nftables backend, and then if the backend is actually set to
nftables, before logging an error (and failing the net-start
operation, since the network couldn't possibly work anyway).
When the libvirt zone is used, network behavior is *slightly*
different from behavior of previous libvirt. In the past, libvirt
network behavior would be affected by the configuration of firewalld's
default zone (usually "public"), but now it is affected only by the
"libvirt" zone), and thus almost surely warrants a release note for
any distro upgrading to libvirt 5.1 or above. Although it's
unfortunate that we have to deal with a mandatory behavior change, the
architecture of multiple hooks makes it impossible to *not* change
behavior in some way, and the new behavior is arguably better (since
it will now be possible to manage access to the host from virtual
machines vs from public interfaces separately).

If <a href="https://firewalld.org">firewalld</a> is active on

the host, libvirt will attempt to place the bridge interface of
|
|
|
|
|
a libvirt virtual network into the firewalld zone named
|
|
|
|
|
"libvirt" (thus making all guest->host traffic on that network
|
|
|
|
|
subject to the rules of the "libvirt" zone). This is done
|
|
|
|
|
because, if firewalld is using its nftables backend (available
|
|
|
|
|
since firewalld 0.6.0) the default firewalld zone (which would
|
|
|
|
|
be used if libvirt didn't explicitly set the zone) prevents
|
|
|
|
|
forwarding traffic from guests through the bridge, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
preventing DHCP, DNS, and most other traffic from guests to
|
|
|
|
|
host. The zone named "libvirt" is installed into the firewalld
|
|
|
|
|
configuration by libvirt (not by firewalld), and allows
|
|
|
|
|
forwarded traffic through the bridge as well as DHCP, DNS, TFTP,
|
|
|
|
|
and SSH traffic to the host - depending on firewalld's backend
|
|
|
|
|
this will be implemented via either iptables or nftables
|
|
|
|
|
rules. libvirt's own rules outlined above will *always* be

iptables rules regardless of which backend is in use by

firewalld.

|

<p>The filters are managed in libvirt as a top level, standalone object.

This allows the filters to then be referenced by any libvirt object

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Every filter has a name and UUID which serve as unique identifiers.
|
|
|
|
|
A filter can have zero-or-more <code><rule></code> elements which
|
|
|
|
|
are used to actually define network controls. Filters can be arranged
|
|
|
|
|
into a DAG, so zero-or-more <code><filterref/></code> elements are
|
|
|
|
|
also allowed. Cycles in the graph are not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code><rule></code> element is where all the interesting stuff
|
|
|
|
|
happens. It has three attributes, an action, a traffic direction and an
|
2012-12-17 15:03:23 +00:00
|
|
|
optional priority. E.g.:
|
2010-07-10 12:47:00 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre><rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Within the rule there are a wide variety of elements allowed, which
|
|
|
|
|
do protocol specific matching. Supported protocols currently include
|
|
|
|
|
<code>mac</code>, <code>arp</code>, <code>rarp</code>, <code>ip</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ipv6</code>, <code>tcp/ip</code>, <code>icmp/ip</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>igmp/ip</code>, <code>udp/ip</code>, <code>udplite/ip</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>esp/ip</code>, <code>ah/ip</code>, <code>sctp/ip</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>tcp/ipv6</code>, <code>icmp/ipv6</code>, <code>igmp/ipv6</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>udp/ipv6</code>, <code>udplite/ipv6</code>, <code>esp/ipv6</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ah/ipv6</code>, <code>sctp/ipv6</code>. Each protocol defines what
|
|
|
|
|
is valid inside the <rule> element. The general pattern though is:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<protocol match='yes|no' attribute1='value1' attribute2='value2'/></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>So, eg a TCP protocol, matching ports 0-1023 would be expressed as:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre><tcp match='yes' srcportstart='0' srcportend='1023'/></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Attributes can included references to variables defined by the
|
|
|
|
|
object using the rule. So the guest XML format allows each NIC
|
|
|
|
|
to have a MAC address and IP address defined. These are made
|
|
|
|
|
available to filters via the variables <code><b>$IP</b></code> and
|
|
|
|
|
<code><b>$MAC</b></code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>So to define a filter that prevents IP address spoofing we can
|
|
|
|
|
simply match on source IP address <code>!= $IP</code> like this:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<filter name='no-ip-spoofing' chain='ipv4'>
|
|
|
|
|
<rule action='drop' direction='out'>
|
|
|
|
|
<ip match='no' srcipaddr='<b>$IP</b>' />
|
|
|
|
|
</rule>
|
|
|
|
|
</filter></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm not going to go into details on all the other protocol
|
|
|
|
|
matches you can do, because it'll take far too much space.

<p>Most of these are just building blocks. The interesting one here
|
|
|
|
|
is 'clean-traffic'. This pulls together all the building blocks
|
|
|
|
|
into one filter that you can then associate with a guest NIC.
|
|
|
|
|
This stops the most common bad things a guest might try, IP
|
|
|
|
|
spoofing, arp spoofing and MAC spoofing. To look at the rules for
|
|
|
|
|
any of these just do:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>virsh nwfilter-dumpxml FILTERNAME|UUID</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>They are all stored in <code>/etc/libvirt/nwfilter</code>, but don't
|
|
|
|
|
edit the files there directly. Use <code>virsh nwfilter-define</code>
|
|
|
|
|
to update them. This ensures the guests have their iptables/ebtables
|
|
|
|
|
rules recreated.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
2013-11-30 18:27:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To associate the clean-traffic filter with a guest, edit the
|
2010-07-10 12:47:00 +00:00
|
|
|
guest XML config and change the <code><interface></code> element
|
|
|
|
|
to include a <code><filterref></code> and also specify the
|
|
|
|
|
whitelisted <code><ip address/></code> the guest is allowed to
|
|
|
|
|
use:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<interface type='bridge'>
|
|
|
|
|
<mac address='52:54:00:56:44:32'/>
|
|
|
|
|
<source bridge='br1'/>
|
|
|
|
|
<ip address='10.33.8.131'/>
|
|
|
|
|
<target dev='vnet0'/>
|
|
|
|
|
<model type='virtio'/>
|
|
|
|
|
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
|
|
|
|
|
</interface></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If no <code><ip address></code> is included, the network filter
|
|
|
|
|
driver will activate its 'learning mode'. This uses libpcap to snoop on
|
|
|
|
|
network traffic the guest sends and attempts to identify the
|
|
|
|
|
first IP address it uses. It then locks traffic to this address.
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously this isn't entirely secure, but it does offer some
|
|
|
|
|
protection against the guest being trojaned once up and running.
|
|
|
|
|
In the future we intend to enhance the learning mode so that it
|
|
|
|
|
looks for DHCPOFFERS from a trusted DHCP server and only allows
|
|
|
|
|
the offered IP address to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Now, how is all this implemented...?</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The network filter driver uses a combination of ebtables, iptables and
|
|
|
|
|
ip6tables, depending on which protocols are referenced in a filter. The
|
|
|
|
|
out of the box 'clean-traffic' filter rules only require use of
|
|
|
|
|
ebtables. If you want to do matching at tcp/udp/etc protocols (eg to add
|
|
|
|
|
a new filter 'no-email-spamming' to block port 25), then iptables will
|
|
|
|
|
also be used.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The driver attempts to keep its rules separate from those that
|
|
|
|
|
the host admin might already have configured. So the first thing
|
|
|
|
|
it does with ebtables, is to add two hooks in POSTROUTING and
|
|
|
|
|
PREROUTING chains, to redirect traffic to custom chains. These
|
|
|
|
|
hooks match on the TAP device name of the guest NIC, so they
|
|
|
|
|
should not interact badly with any administrator defined rules:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
Bridge chain: PREROUTING, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
|
|
|
|
|

-o vnet0 -j libvirt-O-vnet0</pre>
|
2012-10-11 16:31:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To keep things manageable and easy to follow, the driver will then
|
2010-07-10 12:47:00 +00:00
|
|
|
create further sub-chains for each protocol then it needs to match
|
|
|
|
|
against:
|
|
|
|

<p>Finally, here comes the actual implementation of the filters. This

I'm not going to explain what this is doing now. :-)

|
<p>NB, we would have liked to include the prefix 'libvirt-' in all
|
|
|
|
|
of our chain names, but unfortunately the kernel limits names
|
|
|
|
|
to a very short maximum length. So only the first two custom
|
|
|
|
|
chains can include that prefix. The others just include the
|
|
|
|
|
TAP device name + protocol name.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If I define a new filter 'no-spamming' and then add this to the
|
|
|
|
|
'clean-traffic' filter, I can illustrate how iptables usage works:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
<pre>

|
|
|
<p>All active guests immediately have their iptables/ebtables rules

rebuilt.

|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The network filter driver deals with iptables in a very similar
|
|
|
|
|
way. First it separates out its rules from those the admin may
|
|
|
|
|
have defined, by adding a couple of hooks into the INPUT/FORWARD
|
|
|
|
|
chains:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>

libvirt-in-post all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These custom chains then do matching based on the TAP device
|
|

name, so they won't open holes in the admin defined matches for

the LAN/WAN (if any).

<p>Finally, we can see the interesting bit which is the actual

implementation of my filter to block port 25 access:

are many guests all using the same filters, we will be duplicating
|
|
|
|
|
the iptables rules over and over for each guest. This is merely a
|
|
|
|
|
limitation of the current rules engine implementation. At the libvirt
|
|
|
|
|
object modelling level you can clearly see we've designed the model
|
|
|
|
|
so filter rules are defined in one place, and indirectly referenced
|
|
|
|
|
by guests. Thus it should be possible to change the implementation in
|
|
|
|
|
the future so we can share the actual iptables/ebtables rules for
|
|
|
|
|
each guest to create a more scalable system. The stuff in current libvirt
|
|
|
|
|
is more or less the very first working implementation we've had of this,
|
|
|
|
|
so there's not been much optimization work done yet.

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Also notice that at the XML level we don't expose the fact we
|
|
|
|
|
are using iptables or ebtables at all. The rule definition is done in
|
|
|
|
|
terms of network protocols. Thus if we ever find a need, we could
|
|
|
|
|
plug in an alternative implementation that calls out to a different
|
|
|
|
|
firewall implementation instead of ebtables/iptables (providing that
|
|
|
|
|
implementation was suitably expressive of course)
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, in terms of problems we have in deployment. The biggest
|
|
|
|
|
problem is that if the admin does <code>service iptables restart</code>
|
|
|
|
|
all our work gets blown away. We've experimented with using lokkit
|
|
|
|
|
to record our custom rules in a persistent config file, but that
|
|
|
|
|
caused different problem. Admins who were not using lokkit for
|
|
|
|
|
their config found that all their own rules got blown away. So
|
|
|
|
|
we threw away our lokkit code. Instead we document that if you
|
|
|
|
|
run <code>service iptables restart</code>, you need to send SIGHUP to
|
|
|
|
|
libvirt to make it recreate its rules.
