Albin Kerouanton d216084185 libnet/d/bridge: drop remote connections to port mapped on lo
Traditionally when Linux receives remote packets with daddr set to a
loopback address, it reject them as 'martians'. However, when a NAT rule
is applied through iptables this doesn't happen. Our current DNAT rule
used to map host ports to containers is applied unconditionally, even
for such 'martian' packets.

This means a neighbor host (ie. a host connected to the same L2
segment) can send packets to a port mapped on a loopback address. The
purpose of publishing on a loopback address is to make ports
inaccessible to remote hosts -- lack of proper filtering defeats that.

This commit adds an iptables rule to the raw-PREROUTING chain to drop
packets with a loopback dest address and coming from any interface other
than lo.

To accomodate WSL2 mirrored mode, another rule is inserted beforehand to
specifically accept packets coming from the loopback0 interface.

libnetwork - networking for containers

Libnetwork provides a native Go implementation for connecting containers

The goal of libnetwork is to deliver a robust Container Network Model that provides a consistent programming interface and the required network abstractions for applications.

Design

Please refer to the design for more information.

Using libnetwork

There are many networking solutions available to suit a broad range of use-cases. libnetwork uses a driver / plugin model to support all of these solutions while abstracting the complexity of the driver implementations by exposing a simple and consistent Network Model to users.
