Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS (RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic paper. Backports upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 to the used LEDE kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

Subject: [PATCH] tcp: make challenge acks less predictable
|
|
|
|
Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS
|
|
(RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker
|
|
to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic
|
|
paper.
|
|
|
|
This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds
|
|
some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack
|
|
sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes.
|
|
|
|
Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus.
|
|
|
|
Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting
|
|
to remove the host limit in the future.
|
|
|
|
v2: randomize the count of challenge acks per second, not the period.
|
|
