[Bug 1699495] [NEW] security groups allows localhost (127.0.0.0/8) to pass

 

Public bug reported:

Host local IP addresses shouldn't be in source_ip for incoming packets.
No exceptions.

Current implementation of security groups, when user allow a wide range
of IP addresses to pass, allow to pass 127.0.0.0/8.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create rule in security groups which allows from 0.0.0.0/0
2. send spoofed traffic with source 127.0.0.1 to instance (hping3 -a 127.0.0.1 target_ip)

Expected behavior: no malformed traffic on instance interface.
Actual behavior: Traffic with source=127.0.0.1 on instance interface.
