Subject: Re: CVE Request -- kernel: tcp: drop SYN+FIN messages
Hi,
I'm writing because the patch is missing something; in
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf5af0daf8019cec2396cdef8fb042d80fe71fa
the issue was fixed for SYN-FIN, but IMHO it's still open für SYN-PSH
and SYN-URG.
# Victim:
Locally, I ran:
ab2 -n 10000 -c 100 http://localhost/
The performance was about 4500 requests/s
# Attacker:
iptables -A OUTPUT -d ${VICTIM} -p tcp --dport 80 --tcp-flags
SYN,ACK,RST RST -j DROP
I modified synful.c to send SYN-FIN: this results in no open SYN_RECV
states on the victim, the ab2 benchmark performs as usual.
However, sending SYN+URG causes a immediate increase of SYN_RECV to 256
and ab2 won't even finish, only very few requests succeed.
Enabling tcp_syncookies is an immediate fix, though.
So my question is: isn't this the same thing as CVE-2012-2663? If so,
this works for me:
