From f4dca95fc0f6350918f2e6727e35b41f7f86fcce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 13:05:27 +0000 Subject: tcp: reduce accepted window in NEW_SYN_RECV state Jason commit made checks against ACK sequence less strict and can be exploited by attackers to establish spoofed flows with less probes. Innocent users might use tcp_rmem[1] == 1,000,000,000, or something more reasonable. An attacker can use a regular TCP connection to learn the server initial tp->rcv_wnd, and use it to optimize the attack. If we make sure that only the announced window (smaller than 65535) is used for ACK validation, we force an attacker to use 65537 packets to complete the 3WHS (assuming server ISN is unknown) Fixes: 378979e94e95 ("tcp: remove 64 KByte limit for initial tp->rcv_wnd value") Link: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/119/materials/slides-119-tcpm-ghost-acks-00 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Reviewed-by: Jason Xing Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240523130528.60376-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c') diff --git a/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c b/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c index 30ef0c8f5e92..b710958393e6 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c +++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c @@ -1144,14 +1144,9 @@ static void tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(const struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, #endif } - /* RFC 7323 2.3 - * The window field (SEG.WND) of every outgoing segment, with the - * exception of segments, MUST be right-shifted by - * Rcv.Wind.Shift bits: - */ tcp_v4_send_ack(sk, skb, seq, tcp_rsk(req)->rcv_nxt, - req->rsk_rcv_wnd >> inet_rsk(req)->rcv_wscale, + tcp_synack_window(req) >> inet_rsk(req)->rcv_wscale, tcp_rsk_tsval(tcp_rsk(req)), READ_ONCE(req->ts_recent), 0, &key, -- cgit v1.2.3
