            Bug ID: 102051
           Summary: Unexpected TCP behavior
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.19
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: IPV4
          Assignee: shemminger@...ux-foundation.org
          Reporter: vremetic@...il.com
        Regression: No

While running nmap against localhost I started to see open ports in the dynamic
range (>1024). Kind of odd, knowing netstat and ss did not show any listeners
on the port.

With tcpdump, I confirmed system was returning S/ACK for ports that did not
have a listener enabled. The "issue" or feature only occurs if source port
matches the destination port.

# netstat -nap | grep 5000
#

$ nc localhost -p 5000 5000

I confirmed it with nmap, nc, and hping3; granted they build on same c
libraries, so I am not even sure if this should be filed as a kernel bug (or
even a bug);
just did not expect to see this behavior // 

Expected to see a RST instead.
