ipv4: tcp: send zero IPID in SYNACK messages
[ Upstream commit 970a5a3ea86da637471d3cd04d513a0755aba4bf ]
In commit 431280eebed9 ("ipv4: tcp: send zero IPID for RST and
ACK sent in SYN-RECV and TIME-WAIT state") we took care of some
ctl packets sent by TCP.
It turns out we need to use a similar strategy for SYNACK packets.
By default, they carry IP_DF and IPID==0, but there are ways
to ask them to use the hashed IP ident generator and thus
be used to build off-path attacks.
(Ref: Off-Path TCP Exploits of the Mixed IPID Assignment)
One of this way is to force (before listener is started)
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc
Another way is using forged ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED
with a very small MTU (like 68) to force a false return from
ip_dont_fragment()
In this patch, ip_build_and_send_pkt() uses the following
heuristics.
1) Most SYNACK packets are smaller than IPV4_MIN_MTU and therefore
can use IP_DF regardless of the listener or route pmtu setting.
2) In case the SYNACK packet is bigger than IPV4_MIN_MTU,
we use prandom_u32() generator instead of the IPv4 hashed ident one.
