From 970a5a3ea86da637471d3cd04d513a0755aba4bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 17:10:21 -0800 Subject: ipv4: tcp: send zero IPID in SYNACK messages In commit 431280eebed9 ("ipv4: tcp: send zero IPID for RST and ACK sent in SYN-RECV and TIME-WAIT state") we took care of some ctl packets sent by TCP. It turns out we need to use a similar strategy for SYNACK packets. By default, they carry IP_DF and IPID==0, but there are ways to ask them to use the hashed IP ident generator and thus be used to build off-path attacks. (Ref: Off-Path TCP Exploits of the Mixed IPID Assignment) One of this way is to force (before listener is started) echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc Another way is using forged ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED with a very small MTU (like 68) to force a false return from ip_dont_fragment() In this patch, ip_build_and_send_pkt() uses the following heuristics. 1) Most SYNACK packets are smaller than IPV4_MIN_MTU and therefore can use IP_DF regardless of the listener or route pmtu setting. 2) In case the SYNACK packet is bigger than IPV4_MIN_MTU, we use prandom_u32() generator instead of the IPv4 hashed ident one.
