Possible regression between 5.18.2 and 6.2.1

Possible regression between 5.18.2 and 6.2.1

[Dan Crawford]

I recently updated a server from kernel version 5.18.2 to 6.2.1 and
discovered that WG clients could no longer connect; there were no
changes to configs. Reverting to 5.18.2 resolves the issue.

My server config looks something like

[Interface]
Address = 192.168.1.0/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = XXX
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -A FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -D FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

[Peer]
PublicKey = XXX
AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.3/32

and my client config looks something like


[Interface]
Address = 192.168.1.3/32
DNS = 1.1.1.1
PrivateKey = XXX

[Peer]
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = example.com:51820
PublicKey = XXX

On the server I get mysterious "packet has unallowed src ip" errors.
Playing around with various combinations of subnets and iptables
invocations doesn't seem to help. Was there a change to the config spec
that I missed? Or otherwise any other ideas what might be going on?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced v5.18..v6.2
#regzbot title net: wireguard: clients can no longer connect
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
