firewall Cookbook

Provides a set of primitives for managing firewalls and associated rules.

PLEASE NOTE - The resource/providers in this cookbook are under heavy development. An attempt is being made to keep the resource simple/stupid by starting with less sophisticated firewall implementations first and refactor/vet the resource definition with each successive provider.

Maintainers

This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs.

Requirements

Chef Infra Client 15.5+

depends 'firewall'

Supported firewalls and platforms

UFW - Ubuntu, Debian (except 9)
IPTables - Red Hat & CentOS, Ubuntu
FirewallD - Red Hat & CentOS >= 7.0 (IPv4 only support, needs contributions/testing)
Windows Advanced Firewall - 2012 R2
nftables

Tested on:

Ubuntu 16.04 with iptables, ufw
Debian 9 with iptables
Debian 11 with nftables
Debian 11 with new resources for firewalld
CentOS 6 with iptables
CentOS 7.1 with firewalld
Oracle 8 with nftables
Windows Server 2012r2 with Windows Advanced Firewall

By default, Ubuntu chooses ufw. To switch to iptables, set this in an attribute file:

default['firewall']['ubuntu_iptables'] = true

By default, Red Hat & CentOS >= 7.0 chooses firewalld. To switch to iptables, set this in an attribute file:

default['firewall']['redhat7_iptables'] = true

In order to use nftables, just use the resource nftables and
nftables_rule. These resources are written in more modern design
styles and are not configurable by node attributes.

Considerations that apply to all firewall providers and resources

This cookbook comes with two resources, firewall and firewall rule. The typical usage scenario is as follows:

run the :install action on the firewall resource named 'default', which installs appropriate packages and configures services to start on boot and starts them
run the :create action on every firewall_rule resource, which adds to the list of rules that should be configured on the firewall. firewall_rule then automatically sends a delayed notification to the firewall['default'] resource to run the :restart action.
run the delayed notification with action :restart on the firewall resource. if any rules are different than the last run, the provider will update the current state of the firewall rules to match the expected rules.

There is a fundamental mismatch between the idea of a chef action and the action that should be taken on a firewall rule. For this reason, the chef action for a firewall_rule may be :nothing (the rule should not be present in the firewall) or :create (the rule should be present in the firewall), but the action taken on a packet in a firewall (DROP, ACCEPT, etc) is denoted as a command parameter on the firewall_rule resource.

The same points hold for the nftables- and nftables_rule-resources.

iptables considerations

If you need to use a table other than *filter, the best way to do so is like so:

node.default['firewall']['iptables']['defaults'][:ruleset] = {
  '*filter' => 1,
  ':INPUT DROP' => 2,
  ':FORWARD DROP' => 3,
  ':OUTPUT ACCEPT_FILTER' => 4,
  'COMMIT_FILTER' => 100,
  '*nat' => 101,
  ':PREROUTING DROP' => 102,
  ':POSTROUTING DROP' => 103,
  ':OUTPUT ACCEPT_NAT' => 104,
  'COMMIT_NAT' => 200
}

Note -- in order to support multiple hash keys containing the same rule, anything found after the underscore will be stripped for: :OUTPUT :INPUT :POSTROUTING :PREROUTING COMMIT. This allows an example like the above to be reduced to just repeated lines of COMMIT and :OUTPUT ACCEPT while still avoiding duplication of other things.

Then it's trivial to add additional rules to the *nat table using the raw parameter:

firewall_rule "postroute" do
  raw "-A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -p tcp -d 172.28.128.21 -j SNAT --to-source 172.28.128.6"
  position 150
end

Note that any line starting with COMMIT will become just COMMIT, as hash
keys must be unique but we need multiple commit lines.

nftables

Please read the documentation for the
[nftables resource](documentation/resource_nftables.md) and the
[nftables_rule resource](documentation/resource_nftables_rule.md)

Recipes

default

The default recipe creates a firewall resource with action install.

disable_firewall

Used to disable platform specific firewall. Many clouds have their own firewall configured outside of the OS instance such as AWS Security Groups.

Attributes

default['firewall']['allow_ssh'] = false, set true to open port 22 for SSH when the default recipe runs
default['firewall']['allow_mosh'] = false, set to true to open UDP ports 60000 - 61000 for Mosh when the default recipe runs
default['firewall']['allow_winrm'] = false, set true to open port 5989 for WinRM when the default recipe runs
default['firewall']['allow_loopback'] = false, set to true to allow all traffic on the loopback interface
default['firewall']['allow_icmp'] = false, set true to allow icmp protocol on supported OSes (note: ufw and windows implementations don't support this)
default['firewall']['ubuntu_iptables'] = false, set to true to use iptables on Ubuntu / Debian when using the default recipe
default['firewall']['redhat7_iptables'] = false, set to true to use iptables on Red Hat / CentOS 7 when using the default recipe
default['firewall']['ufw']['defaults'] hash for template /etc/default/ufw
default['firewall']['iptables']['defaults'] hash for default policies for 'filter' table's chains`
default['firewall']['windows']['defaults'] hash to define inbound / outbound firewall policy on Windows platform
default['firewall']['allow_established'] = true, set to false if you don't want a related/established default rule on iptables
default['firewall']['ipv6_enabled'] = true, set to false if you don't want IPv6 related/established default rule on iptables (this enables ICMPv6, which is required for much of IPv6 communication)
default['firewall']['firewalld']['permanent'] = false, set to true if you want firewalld rules to be added with --permanent so they survive a reboot. This will be changed to true by default in a future major version release.

Resources

There is a separate folder for [firewalld resources](documentation/README.md).

firewall

NB: The name 'default' of this resource is important as it is used for firewall_rule providers to locate the firewall resource. If you change it, you must also supply the same value to any firewall_rule resources using the firewall_name parameter.

Actions

:install (default action): Install and Enable the firewall. This will ensure the appropriate packages are installed and that any services have been started.
:disable: Disable the firewall. Drop any rules and put the node in an unprotected state. Flush all current rules. Also erase any internal state used to detect when rules should be applied.
:flush: Flush all current rules. Also erase any internal state used to detect when rules should be applied.
:save: Ensure all rules are added permanently under firewalld using --permanent. Not supported on ufw, iptables. You must notify this action at the end of the chef run if you want permanent firewalld rules (they are not persistent by default).

Parameters

disabled (default to false): If set to true, all actions will no-op on this resource. This is a way to prevent included cookbooks from configuring a firewall.
ipv6_enabled (default to true): If set to false, firewall will not perform any ipv6 related work. Currently only supported in iptables.
log_level: UFW only. Level of verbosity the firewall should log at. valid values are: :low, :medium, :high, :full, :off. default is :low.
rules: This is used internally for firewall_rule resources to append their rules. You should NOT touch this value unless you plan to supply an entire firewall ruleset at once, and skip using firewall_rule resources.
disabled_zone (firewalld only): The zone to set on firewalld when the firewall should be disabled. Can be any string in symbol form, e.g. :public, :drop, etc. Defaults to :public.
enabled_zone (firewalld only): The zone to set on firewalld when the firewall should be enabled. Can be any string in symbol form, e.g. :public, :drop, etc. Defaults to :drop.
package_options: Used to pass options to the package install of firewall

# all defaults
firewall 'default'

# enable platform default firewall
firewall 'default' do
  action :install
end

# increase logging past default of 'low'
firewall 'default' do
  log_level :high
  action    :install
end

firewall_rule

Actions

:create (default action): If a firewall_rule runs this action, the rule will be recorded in a chef resource's internal state, and applied when providers automatically notify the firewall resource with action :reload. The notification happens automatically.

Parameters

firewall_name: the matching firewall resource that this rule applies to. Default value: default
raw: Used to pass an entire rule as a string, omitting all other parameters. This line will be directly loaded by iptables-restore, fed directly into ufw on the command line, or run using firewall-cmd.
description (default: same as rule name): Used to provide a comment that will be included when adding the firewall rule.
include_comment (default: true): Used to optionally exclude the comment in the rule.
position (default: 50): relative position to insert rule at. Position may be any integer between 0 < n < 100 (exclusive), and more than one rule may specify the same position.
command: What action to take on a particular packet
- :allow (default action): the rule should allow matching packets
- :deny: the rule should deny matching packets
- :reject: the rule should reject matching packets
- :masquerade: Masquerade the matching packets
- :redirect: Redirect the matching packets
- :log: Configure logging
stateful: a symbol or array of symbols, such as `[:related, :established] that will be passed to the state module in iptables or firewalld.
protocol: :tcp (default), :udp, :icmp, :none or protocol number. Using protocol numbers is not supported using the ufw provider (default for debian/ubuntu systems).
direction: For ufw, direction of the rule. valid values are: :in (default), :out, :pre, :post.
source (Default is 0.0.0.0/0 or Anywhere): source ip address or subnet to filter.
source_port (Default is nil): source port for filtering packets.
destination: ip address or subnet to filter on packet destination, must be a valid IP
port or dest_port: target port number (ie. 22 to allow inbound SSH), or an array of incoming port numbers (ie. [80,443] to allow inbound HTTP & HTTPS). NOTE: protocol attribute is required with multiple ports, or a range of incoming port numbers (ie. 60000..61000 to allow inbound mobile-shell. NOTE: protocol, or an attribute is required with a range of ports.
interface: (source) interface to apply rule (ie. eth0).
dest_interface: interface where packets may be destined to go
redirect_port: redirected port for rules with command :redirect
logging: may be added to enable logging for a particular rule. valid values are: :connections, :packets. In the ufw provider, :connections logs new connections while :packets logs all packets.

# open standard ssh port
firewall_rule 'ssh' do
  port     22

  direction :in
  interface 'eth0'
  command    :allow
end

# specify a protocol number (supported on centos/redhat)
firewall_rule 'vrrp' do
  protocol    112
  command      :allow
end

# use the iptables provider to specify protocol number on debian/ubuntu
firewall_rule 'vrrp' do
  provider    Chef::Provider::FirewallRuleIptables
  protocol    112
  command      :allow
end

# can use :raw command with UFW provider for VRRP
firewall_rule "VRRP" do
  command   :allow
  raw "allow to 224.0.0.18"
end

# open UDP ports 60000..61000 for mobile shell (mosh.org), note
# that the protocol attribute is required when using port_range
firewall_rule 'mosh' do
  protocol   :udp
  port       60000..61000
  command     :allow
end

# open multiple ports for http/https, note that the protocol
# attribute is required when using ports
firewall_rule 'http/https' do
  protocol :tcp
  port     [80, 443]
  command   :allow
end

firewall 'default' do
  enabled false
  action :nothing
end

Providers

See libraries/z_provider_mapping.rb for a full list of providers for each platform and version.

Different providers will determine the current state of the rules differently -- parsing the output of a command, maintaining the state in a file, or some other way. If the firewall is adjusted from outside of chef (non-idempotent), it's possible that chef may be caught unaware of the current state of the firewall. The best workaround is to add a :flush action to the firewall resource as early as possible in the chef run, if you plan to modify the firewall state outside of chef.

Troubleshooting

To figure out what the position values are for current rules, print the hash that contains the weights:

require pp
default_firewall = resources(:firewall, 'default')
pp default_firewall.rules
