It does look like ip fragments are susceptible that way. For IP fragments we have per netns mem-limit and LRU-list, but all netns share the same hash table, which have its own DoS potential. And argh! - we have a hardcoded INETFRAGS_MAXDEPTH=128, which can be used for (slow) DoS of IP frags if enough netns are created. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/tree/net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c#n344 Introduced by commit 5a3da1fe9 ("inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists"). -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Sr. Network Kernel Developer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
