Hi,
I hit this old bug while doing some clearance.
Xenial reached EOSS (End of Standard Support) so I'm afraid it can't be
fixed. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect,
however, there appears to be no further action possible at this time
because it's not a security bug.
This seems to be fixed in Focal, where all the tooling is based on
nftables:
root@focal # ebtables-save | tee dump.txt
# Generated by ebtables-save v1.8.4 on Thu Apr 30 19:03:09 2020
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT
:FORWARD ACCEPT
:OUTPUT ACCEPT
# Completed on Thu Apr 30 19:03:09 2020
root@focal# ebtables
It's been like 2 years, any news on this?
Also affects bionic.

Some sort of initialization is missing:
96 struct ebt_u_table *ebt_find_table(const char *name)
97 {
98 struct ebt_u_table *t = ebt_tables;
99
100 while (t && strcmp(t->name, name)) {
101 printf("t->name: %s name: %s", t->name, name);
(gdb) n

I don't believe there was an upstream report, however it looks like
ebtables-restore was removed from the upstream repo here:

Bugs,
@Nish / @Josh - you worked on this before, was there any upstream report
already that might be missing or is this waiting for someone to actually
report it first (also pinging on IRC about it)?

# ebtables-restore < txt1.txt
Bad table name 'filter'.
# ebtables -t filter -L
Bridge table: filter
Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT
Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT
Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT
So i think this is a bug, probably upstream?

@ktf the only other report of this I could find was someone doing the restore
manually here:

Use at your own risk as I have yet to test that.

Is there a workaround or a way to make a file that ebtables-restore does
accept, by hand for example?
