Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] TCP connection repair (v3)
Hi!
Attempt #3 with transparent TCP connection hijacking
(previous one is here http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2012/03/06/65).
Changes since v2:
* The CAP_NET_ADMIN is required to turn repair on, not CAP_SYS_ADMIN
* Changed read queue seq sockoption to work on the rcv_nxt, not the
copied_seq to address the issue with syn flag in the fake header
(see below).
* Resolved issues with syn and fin flags in fake headers.
Fin can and should be dropped. The repair mode is currently allowed
only for closed and established sockets and thus we cannot meet an
skb with this flag in the original socket (queuing fin to receive
queue switches the established state to the close-wait one).
Syn can also be dropped. This flag in the recv queue's skb means the
respective skb's seq is off-by-one relative to the actual amount of
data on it. Thus, removing the flag from fake skb and fixing the seq
respectively solves the issue.
However, in order to do so it's not enough to know the copied_seq and
recv queue length only (rcv_nxt should be copied_seq plus data length
plus "syn-is-there"). Thus, the rcv queue seq get/set sockoption is
changed to work on the rcv_nxt itself. IOW I emulate the situation
when the packet with data and syn is splitted into two -- a packet with
syn and a packet with data and the former one is already "eaten".
Thanks,
Pavel
