netfilter 03/09: bridge: Disable PPPOE/VLAN processing by default
The PPPOE/VLAN processing code in the bridge netfilter is broken by design. The VLAN tag and the PPPOE session ID are an integral part of the packet flow information, yet they're completely ignored by the bridge netfilter. This is potentially a security hole as it treats all VLANs and PPPOE sessions as the same. What's more, it's actually broken for PPPOE as the bridge netfilter tries to trim the packets to the IP length without adjusting the PPPOE header (and adjusting the PPPOE header isn't much better since the PPPOE peer may require the padding to be present). Therefore we should disable this by default. It does mean that people relying on this feature may lose networking depending on how their bridge netfilter rules are configured. However, IMHO the problems this code causes are serious enough to warrant this.
