Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:24:22 -0300 From: Fernando Gont <fernando@...t.com.ar> To: security@...nel.org, netdev <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Improved handling of IPv6 atomic fragments (FO=0, MF=0) Folks, FYI. We have published an IETF I-D that proposes an improved handling of IPv6 atomic fragments (IPv6 fragments that have an offset of 0, and MF=0). The I-D is available here: <http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments-00.txt> The aforementioned behaviour eliminates fragmentation-based attacks against traffic that employs atomic fragments, and has already been implemented by OpenBSD.
