ip: make IP identifiers less predictable

2014-07-29T01:46:34Z

In "Counting Packets Sent Between Arbitrary Internet Hosts", Jeffrey and Jedidiah describe ways exploiting linux IP identifier generation to infer whether two machines are exchanging packets. With commit 73f156a6e8c1 ("inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count"), we changed IP id generation, but this does not really prevent this side-channel technique. This patch adds a random amount of perturbation so that IP identifiers for a given destination [1] are no longer monotonically increasing after an idle period. Note that prandom_u32_max(1) returns 0, so if generator is used at most once per jiffy, this patch inserts no hole in the ID suite and do not increase collision probability. This is jiffies based, so in the worst case (HZ=1000), the id can rollover after ~65 seconds of idle time, which should be fine. We also change the hash used in __ip_select_ident() to not only hash on daddr, but also saddr and protocol, so that ICMP probes can not be used to infer information for other protocols. For IPv6, adds saddr into the hash as well, but not nexthdr. If I ping the patched target, we can see ID are now hard to predict. 21:57:11.008086 IP (...)

net-gre-gro: Fix a bug that breaks the forwarding path

2014-07-16T21:45:26Z

Fixed a bug that was introduced by my GRE-GRO patch (bf5a755f5e9186406bbf50f4087100af5bd68e40 net-gre-gro: Add GRE support to the GRO stack) that breaks the forwarding path because various GSO related fields were not set. The bug will cause on the egress path either the GSO code to fail, or a GRE-TSO capable (NETIF_F_GSO_GRE) NICs to choke. The following fix has been tested for both cases. Signed-off-by: H.K.

ipv6: Fix MLD Query message check

Based on RFC3810 6.2, we also need to check the hop limit and router alert option besides source address. Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ipv6: Fixed up ipsec packet be re-routing issue

2014-06-11T07:47:31Z

Bug report on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75781 When a local output ipsec packet match the mangle table rule, and be set mark value, the packet will be route again in route_me_harder -> _session_decoder6 In this case, the nhoff in CB of skb was still the default value 0. So the protocal match can't success and the packet can't match correct SA rule,and then the packet be send out in plaintext. To fixed up the issue. The CB->nhoff must be set.

ipip, sit: fix ipv4_{update_pmtu,redirect} calls

2014-06-11T06:35:52Z

ipv4_{update_pmtu,redirect} were called with tunnel's ifindex (t->dev is a tunnel netdevice). It caused wrong route lookup and failure of pmtu update or redirect. We should use the same ifindex that we use in ip_route_output_* in *tunnel_xmit code. It is t->parms.link . Signed-off-by: Dmitry Popov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Shrink udp_v6_mcast_next() to one socket variable

gre: Call gso_make_checksum

2014-06-05T05:46:38Z

Call gso_make_checksum. This should have the benefit of using a checksum that may have been previously computed for the packet. This also adds NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM to differentiate devices that offload GRE GSO with and without the GRE checksum offloaed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
