tcp: md5: using remote adress for md5 lookup in rst packet

2012-02-03T17:19:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8a622e71f58ec9f092fc99eacae0e6cf14f6e742 ] md5 key is added in socket through remote address. remote address should be used in finding md5 key when sending out reset packet. Signed-off-by: shawnlu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tcp: properly handle md5sig_pool references

2011-11-11T17:36:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 260fcbeb1ae9e768a44c9925338fbacb0d7e5ba9 ] tcp_v4_clear_md5_list() assumes that multiple tcp md5sig peers only hold one reference to md5sig_pool. but tcp_v4_md5_do_add() increases use count of md5sig_pool for each peer. This patch makes tcp_v4_md5_do_add() only increases use count for the first tcp md5sig peer. Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.

2011-08-16T01:31:35+00:00

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS steered. One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept() But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

net: convert %p usage to %pK

2011-05-24T05:13:12+00:00

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)". The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.
