From 0c24604b68fc7810d429d6c3657b6f148270e528 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 01:41:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2 Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind Reset attack using SYN bit. Section 4.2 of RFC 5961 advises to send a Challenge ACK and drop incoming packet, instead of resetting the session. Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent in response to SYN packets. (netstat -s | grep TCPSYNChallenge) Remove obsolete TCPAbortOnSyn, since we no longer abort a TCP session because of a SYN flag.
