2017-05-05tcp: randomize timestamps on syncookiesEric Dumazet1-4/+6
Whole point of randomization was to hide server uptime, but an attacker can simply start a syn flood and TCP generates 'old style' timestamps, directly revealing server jiffies value. Also, TSval sent by the server to a particular remote address vary depending on syncookies being sent or not, potentially triggering PAWS drops for innocent clients. Lets implement proper randomization, including for SYNcookies. Also we do not need to export sysctl_tcp_timestamps, since it is not used from a module. In v2, I added Florian feedback and contribution, adding tsoff to tcp_get_cookie_sock(). v3 removed one unused variable in tcp_v4_connect() as Florian spotted.

2017-03-09tcp: rename *_sequence_number() to *_seq_and_tsoff()Alexey Kodanev1-3/+3
The functions that are returning tcp sequence number also setup TS offset value, so rename them to better describe their purpose. No functional changes in this patch.

2016-12-02tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connectionFlorian Westphal1-4/+4
jiffies based timestamps allow for easy inference of number of devices behind NAT translators and also makes tracking of hosts simpler. commit ceaa1fef65a7c2e ("tcp: adding a per-socket timestamp offset") added the main infrastructure that is needed for per-connection ts randomization, in particular writing/reading the on-wire tcp header format takes the offset into account so rest of stack can use normal tcp_time_stamp (jiffies). So only two items are left: - add a tsoffset for request sockets - extend the tcp isn generator to also return another 32bit number in addition to the ISN. Re-use of ISN generator also means timestamps are still monotonically increasing for same connection quadruple, i.e. PAWS will still work. Includes fixes from Eric Dumazet.

2014-06-02inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_countEric Dumazet1-2/+0
Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP generator. linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge cost on servers disabling MTU discovery. 1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes 2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs, with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load. 3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth is about 20. 4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id()) 5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively. IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect' Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time, so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments with a recycled ID. We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP as a key. ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it belongs (it is only used from this file) secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed. Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Usually it's an argument signature change or a function being added/removed. The resolutions are trivial. 2) Some overlapping changes in qmi_wwan.c and be.h, one commit adds a new value, another changes an existing value. That sort of thing. Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-23secure_seq.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches1-14/+14
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

2013-04-29net: defer net_secret[] initializationEric Dumazet1-0/+1
Instead of feeding net_secret[] at boot time, defer the init at the point first socket is created. This permits some platforms to use better entropy sources than the ones available at boot time. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-10-21tcp: add const qualifiers where possibleEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further. For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the temporary null value...

2011-08-06net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.David S. Miller1-0/+20
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.
