ipv4: tcp: send zero IPID for RST and ACK sent in SYN-RECV and TIME-WAIT state
tcp uses per-cpu (and per namespace) sockets (net->ipv4.tcp_sk) internally to send some control packets. 1) RST packets, through tcp_v4_send_reset() 2) ACK packets in SYN-RECV and TIME-WAIT state, through tcp_v4_send_ack() These packets assert IP_DF, and also use the hashed IP ident generator to provide an IPv4 ID number. Geoff Alexander reported this could be used to build off-path attacks. These packets should not be fragmented, since their size is smaller than IPV4_MIN_MTU. Only some tunneled paths could eventually have to fragment, regardless of inner IPID. We really can use zero IPID, to address the flaw, and as a bonus, avoid a couple of atomic operations in ip_idents_reserve() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Geoff Alexander <alexandg@cs.unm.edu> Tested-by: Geoff Alexander <alexandg@cs.unm.edu> Signed-off-by: David S.
