Subject: iscsi-target: Reject mutual authentication with reflected CHAP_C
From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1d2b60a5545942b1376cb48c1d55843d71e3a08f upstream.
This patch adds an explicit check in chap_server_compute_md5() to ensure
the CHAP_C value received from the initiator during mutual authentication
does not match the original CHAP_C provided by the target.
This is in line with RFC-3720, section 8.2.1:
Originators MUST NOT reuse the CHAP challenge sent by the Responder
for the other direction of a bidirectional authentication.
Responders MUST check for this condition and close the iSCSI TCP
connection if it occurs.
