Set nftables Configuration for Loopback Traffic

Description

Configure the loopback interface to accept traffic. Configure all other interfaces to deny traffic to the loopback network.

Rationale

Loopback traffic is generated between processes on machine and is typically critical to operation of the system. The loopback interface is the only place that loopback network traffic should be seen, all other interfaces should ignore traffic on this network as an anti-spoofing measure.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if ( dpkg-query --show --showformat='${db:Status-Status}\n' 'nftables' 2>/dev/null | grep -q installed ); then

var_nftables_family='inet'



grubfile="/boot/grub/grub.cfg"

# Implement the loopback rules:
nft add rule inet filter input iif lo accept
nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 127.0.0.0/8 counter drop

# Check IPv6 is disabled, if false implement IPv6 loopback rules
disabled="false"
[ -f "$grubfile" ] && ! grep "^\s*linux" "$grubfile" | grep -vq "ipv6.disable=1" && disabled="true"

grep -Eq "^\s*net\.ipv6\.conf\.all\.disable_ipv6\s*=\s*1\b(\s+#.*)?$" \
/etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf && \
grep -Eq "^\s*net\.ipv6\.conf\.default\.disable_ipv6\s*=\s*1\b(\s+#.*)?$" \
/etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf && sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 | \
grep -Eq "^\s*net\.ipv6\.conf\.all\.disable_ipv6\s*=\s*1\b(\s+#.*)?$" && \
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 | \
grep -Eq "^\s*net\.ipv6\.conf\.default\.disable_ipv6\s*=\s*1\b(\s+#.*)?$" && disabled="true"

# Is IPv6 Disabled? (true/false)
if [ "$disabled" = false ] ; then
    nft add rule inet filter input ip6 saddr ::1 counter drop
fi


nft list ruleset > "/etc/${var_nftables_family}-filter.rules"

else
    >&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi

Warning

Changing firewall settings while connected over network can result in being locked out of the system. Keep in mind the remediation makes changes only to the running system, in order to keep the changes need to take care to save the nft settings to the relvant configutation files.
