Subject: tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called from tcp_validate_incoming()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bd090dfc634ddd711a5fbd0cadc6e0ab4977bcaf;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called from tcp_validate_incoming()

We added support for RFC 5961 in latest kernels but TCP fails
to perform exhaustive check of ACK sequence.

We can update our view of peer tsval from a frame that is
later discarded by tcp_ack()

This makes timestamps enabled sessions vulnerable to injection of
a high tsval : peers start an ACK storm, since the victim
sends a dupack each time it receives an ACK from the other peer.

As tcp_validate_incoming() is called before tcp_ack(), we should
not peform tcp_replace_ts_recent() from it, and let callers do it
at the right time.
