Firewall and network filtering in libvirt
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
|
|
There are three pieces of libvirt functionality which do network filtering of
|
|
some type. At a high level they are:
|
|
|
|
- The virtual network driver
|
|
|
|
This provides an isolated bridge device (ie no physical NICs attached).
|
|
Guest TAP devices are attached to this bridge. Guests can talk to each
|
|
other and the host, and optionally the wider world.
|
|
|
|
- The QEMU driver MAC filtering
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- The network filter driver
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The virtual network driver
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Thus the virtual network driver in libvirt was invented. This takes the form of
|
|
an isolated bridge device (ie one with no physical NICs attached). 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).
|
|
|
|
libvirt then uses iptables to control what further connectivity is available.
|
|
There are three configurations possible for a virtual network at time of
|
|
writing:
|
|
|
|
- isolated: all off-node traffic is completely blocked
|
|
- nat: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed, but MASQUERADED
|
|
- forward: outbound traffic to the LAN is allowed
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53
|
|
ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53
|
|
ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67
|
|
ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The next rules depend on the type of connectivity allowed, and go in the main
|
|
FORWARD chain:
|
|
|
|
- | type=isolated
|
|
| Allow traffic between guests. Deny inbound. Deny outbound.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
ACCEPT all -- virbr1 virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
REJECT all -- * virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
REJECT all -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
|
|
- | type=nat
|
|
| Allow inbound related to an established connection. Allow outbound, but
|
|
only from our expected subnet. Allow traffic between guests. Deny all other
|
|
inbound. Deny all other outbound.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
ACCEPT all -- * virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.122.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
|
|
ACCEPT all -- virbr0 * 192.168.122.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
ACCEPT all -- virbr0 virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
REJECT all -- * virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
REJECT all -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
|
|
- | type=routed
|
|
| Allow inbound, but only to our expected subnet. Allow outbound, but only
|
|
from our expected subnet. Allow traffic between guests. Deny all other
|
|
inbound. Deny all other outbound.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
ACCEPT all -- * virbr2 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.124.0/24
|
|
ACCEPT all -- virbr2 * 192.168.124.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
ACCEPT all -- virbr2 virbr2 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
REJECT all -- * virbr2 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
REJECT all -- virbr2 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
|
|
|
|
- Finally, with type=nat, there is also an entry in the POSTROUTING chain to
|
|
apply masquerading:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
MASQUERADE all -- * * 192.168.122.0/24 !192.168.122.0/24
|
|
|
|
firewalld and the virtual network driver
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If `firewalld <https://firewalld.org>`__ 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.
|
|
|
|
NB: It is possible to manually set the firewalld zone for a network's interface
|
|
with the "zone" attribute of the network's "bridge" element.
|
|
|
|
NB: Prior to libvirt 5.1.0, the firewalld "libvirt" zone did not exist, and
|
|
prior to firewalld 0.7.0 a feature crucial to making the "libvirt" zone operate
|
|
properly (rich rule priority settings) was not implemented in firewalld. In
|
|
cases where one or the other of the two packages is missing the necessary
|
|
functionality, it's still possible to have functional guest networking by
|
|
setting the firewalld backend to "iptables" (in firewalld prior to 0.6.0, this
|
|
was the only backend available).
|
|
|
|
The network filter driver
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
This driver provides a fully configurable network filtering capability that
|
|
leverages ebtables, iptables and ip6tables. This was written by the libvirt guys
|
|
at IBM and although its XML schema is defined by libvirt, the conceptual model
|
|
is closely aligned with the DMTF CIM schema for network filtering:
|
|
|
|
https://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v2230/CIM_Network.pdf
|
|
|
|
The filters are managed in libvirt as a top level, standalone object. This
|
|
allows the filters to then be referenced by any libvirt object that requires
|
|
their functionality, instead tying them only to use by guest NICs. In the
|
|
current implementation, filters can be associated with individual guest NICs via
|
|
the libvirt domain XML format. In the future we might allow filters to be
|
|
associated with the virtual network objects. Further we're expecting to define a
|
|
new 'virtual switch' object to remove the complexity of configuring
|
|
bridge/sriov/vepa networking modes. This make also end up making use of network
|
|
filters.
|
|
|
|
There are a new set of virsh commands for managing network filters:
|
|
|
|
- ``virsh nwfilter-define``
|
|
define or update a network filter from an XML file
|
|
- ``virsh nwfilter-undefine``
|
|
undefine a network filter
|
|
- ``virsh nwfilter-dumpxml``
|
|
network filter information in XML
|
|
- ``virsh nwfilter-list``
|
|
list network filters
|
|
- ``virsh nwfilter-edit``
|
|
edit XML configuration for a network filter
|
|
|
|
There are equivalently named C APIs for each of these commands.
|
|
|
|
As with all objects libvirt manages, network filters are configured using an XML
|
|
format. At a high level the format looks like this:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<filter name='no-spamming' chain='XXXX'>
|
|
<uuid>d217f2d7-5a04-0e01-8b98-ec2743436b74</uuid>
|
|
|
|
<rule ...>
|
|
....
|
|
</rule>
|
|
|
|
<filterref filter='XXXX'/>
|
|
</filter>
|
|
|
|
Every filter has a name and UUID which serve as unique identifiers. A filter can
|
|
have zero-or-more ``<rule>`` elements which are used to actually define network
|
|
controls. Filters can be arranged into a DAG, so zero-or-more ``<filterref/>``
|
|
elements are also allowed. Cycles in the graph are not allowed.
|
|
|
|
The ``<rule>`` element is where all the interesting stuff happens. It has three
|
|
attributes, an action, a traffic direction and an optional priority. E.g.:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'>
|
|
|
|
Within the rule there are a wide variety of elements allowed, which do protocol
|
|
specific matching. Supported protocols currently include ``mac``, ``arp``,
|
|
``rarp``, ``ip``, ``ipv6``, ``tcp/ip``, ``icmp/ip``, ``igmp/ip``, ``udp/ip``,
|
|
``udplite/ip``, ``esp/ip``, ``ah/ip``, ``sctp/ip``, ``tcp/ipv6``, ``icmp/ipv6``,
|
|
``igmp/ipv6``, ``udp/ipv6``, ``udplite/ipv6``, ``esp/ipv6``, ``ah/ipv6``,
|
|
``sctp/ipv6``. Each protocol defines what is valid inside the <rule> element.
|
|
The general pattern though is:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<protocol match='yes|no' attribute1='value1' attribute2='value2'/>
|
|
|
|
So, eg a TCP protocol, matching ports 0-1023 would be expressed as:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<tcp match='yes' srcportstart='0' srcportend='1023'/>
|
|
|
|
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 ``$IP``
|
|
and ``$MAC``.
|
|
|
|
So to define a filter that prevents IP address spoofing we can simply match on
|
|
source IP address ``!= $IP`` like this:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<filter name='no-ip-spoofing' chain='ipv4'>
|
|
<rule action='drop' direction='out'>
|
|
<ip match='no' srcipaddr='$IP' />
|
|
</rule>
|
|
</filter>
|
|
|
|
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. You can read about the options
|
|
`here <formatnwfilter.html#supported-protocols>`__.
|
|
|
|
Out of the box in RHEL6/Fedora rawhide, libvirt ships with a set of default
|
|
useful rules:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh nwfilter-list

|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
virsh nwfilter-dumpxml FILTERNAME|UUID
|
|
|
|
They are all stored in ``/etc/libvirt/nwfilter``, but don't edit the files there
|
|
directly. Use ``virsh nwfilter-define`` to update them. This ensures the guests
|
|
have their iptables/ebtables rules recreated.
|
|
|
|
To associate the clean-traffic filter with a guest, edit the guest XML config
|
|
and change the ``<interface>`` element to include a ``<filterref>`` and also
|
|
specify the ``<ip address/>`` that the guest is allowed to use:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
If no ``<ip address>`` 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.
|
|
|
|
Now, how is all this implemented...?
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Bridge chain: PREROUTING, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
|
|
-i vnet0 -j libvirt-I-vnet0
|
|
|
|
Bridge chain: POSTROUTING, entries: 1, policy: ACCEPT
|
|
-o vnet0 -j libvirt-O-vnet0
|
|
|
|
To keep things manageable and easy to follow, the driver will then create
|
|
further sub-chains for each protocol then it needs to match against:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Bridge chain: libvirt-I-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT
|
|
-p IPv4 -j I-vnet0-ipv4
|
|
-p ARP -j I-vnet0-arp
|
|
-p 0x8035 -j I-vnet0-rarp
|
|
-p 0x835 -j ACCEPT
|
|
-j DROP
|
|
|
|
Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 4, policy: ACCEPT
|
|
-p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4
|
|
-p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp
|
|
-p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp
|
|
-j DROP
|
|
|
|
Finally, here comes the actual implementation of the filters. This example shows
|
|
the 'clean-traffic' filter implementation. I'm not going to explain what this is
|
|
doing now. :-)

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.
|
|
|
|
If I define a new filter 'no-spamming' and then add this to the 'clean-traffic'
|
|
filter, I can illustrate how iptables usage works:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# cat > /root/spamming.xml <<EOF
|
|
<filter name='no-spamming' chain='root'>
|
|
<uuid>d217f2d7-5a04-0e01-8b98-ec2743436b74</uuid>
|
|
<rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'>
|
|
<tcp dstportstart='25' dstportend='25'/>
|
|
</rule>
|
|
</filter>
|
|
EOF
|
|
# virsh nwfilter-define /root/spamming.xml
|
|
# virsh nwfilter-edit clean-traffic
|
|
|
|
...add ``<filterref filter='no-spamming'/>``
|
|
|
|
All active guests immediately have their iptables/ebtables rules rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 13M packets, 21G bytes)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
libvirt-host-in all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
|
|
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 5532K packets, 3010M bytes)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
libvirt-in all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
libvirt-out all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
libvirt-in-post all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Chain libvirt-host-in (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
HI-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
|
|
|
|
Chain libvirt-in (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
FI-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
|
|
|
|
Chain libvirt-in-post (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0
|
|
|
|
Chain libvirt-out (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
FO-vnet0 all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-out vnet0
|
|
|
|
Finally, we can see the interesting bit which is the actual implementation of my
|
|
filter to block port 25 access:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Chain FI-vnet0 (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25
|
|
|
|
Chain FO-vnet0 (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:25
|
|
|
|
Chain HI-vnet0 (1 references)
|
|
target prot opt in out source destination
|
|
DROP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:25
|
|
|
|
One thing in looking at this you may notice is that if there 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.
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
Finally, in terms of problems we have in deployment. The biggest problem is that
|
|
if the admin does ``service iptables restart`` 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
|
|
``service iptables restart``, you need to send SIGHUP to libvirt to make it
|
|
recreate its rules.
