[PATCH net] ipv6: un-do: defrag: drop non-last frags smaller than min mtu

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg,

A previous bad patch breaks 18 test cases for IPv6 fragment headers.
This has already been un-done in upstream, but not in any of the LTS.
However two upstream patches are first needed to cover a DoS vulnerability.

For background, there are two mail threads in [netdev] on this subject:
1) Subject: TAHI testing fails for IPv6 Fragments in Kernel 4.9 (from
captwiggum)
2) Subject: Please merge IPv6 fix for drop fragment smaller than MTU
(from captwiggum)

Two patches from upstream needed first to cover the DoS:

commit d4289fcc9b16b89619ee1c54f829e05e56de8b9a
net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees for IPv6 defrag

commit 997dd96471641e147cb2c33ad54284000d0f5e35
net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees in nf_conntrack_reasm.c

One undo-patch to fix the IPv6 fragment headers:

ipv6: defrag: drop non-last frags smaller than min mtu
UN-DO: commit a8444b1ccb20339774af58e40ad42296074fb484

Thanks!
