Multicast traffic is not handled as expected by rp_filter in RHEL 7.3 and above
Issue
- Since RHEL 7.3, a multicast stream which should have been discarded by rp_filter is delivered to a socket if that socket is already receiving the stream from a source rp_filter accepts.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
