From 6e5714eaf77d79ae1c8b47e3e040ff5411b717ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 20:50:44 -0700 Subject: net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5. 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.
