The FTP NAT tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about FTP protocol handling through Network Address Translation, particularly in Linux netfilter and nftables contexts. Recent content includes a thread on a Linux kernel fix (CVE-2025-68206) that adds sequence adjustment (seqadj) for FTP control connections in nftables conntrack helpers, addressing broken FTP sessions and kernel warnings in NAT scenarios. While the tag is Linux-focused, it may be relevant to Windows users managing mixed environments or virtualized Linux instances. Topics include conntrack, PASV/EPSV mode issues, and payload rewriting in NAT configurations.

The Linux kernel received a targeted fix that addresses a subtle but disruptive netfilter edge case: CVE-2025-68206 adds a seqadj extension inside nftables’ conntrack helper path so NAT’ed FTP control connections (PASV/EPSV) are correctly sequence-adjusted when payload bytes are rewritten — a...
