From 87c48fa3b4630905f98268dde838ee43626a060c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:25:58 -0700 Subject: ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable IPv6 fragment identification generation is way beyond what we use for IPv4 : It uses a single generator. Its not scalable and allows DOS attacks. Now inetpeer is IPv6 aware, we can use it to provide a more secure and scalable frag ident generator (per destination, instead of system wide) This patch : 1) defines a new secure_ipv6_id() helper 2) extends inet_getid() to provide 32bit results 3) extends ipv6_select_ident() with a new dest parameter Reported-by: Fernando Gont Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
