Looks like a lack of the proper locking against IP address
addition/removal. These (O_IP_SRC_ME/O_IP_DST_ME),
as well as matching of interface by IP address in the iface_match():
/* XXX lock? */
TAILQ_FOREACH(ia, &ifp->if_addrhead, ifa_link) {
if (ia->ifa_addr == NULL)
continue;
are worrying for these races exist since version 1.1 of the ip_fw2.c
for more than 4 years! Alas I'm not an expert in kernel locking, that's why
I don't know how to correctly lock these places.
Sincerely, Dmitry
