tcp: secure_seq: add back ports to TS offset

2026-03-12T11:09:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 165573e41f2f66ef98940cf65f838b2cb575d9d1 ] This reverts 28ee1b746f49 ("secure_seq: downgrade to per-host timestamp offsets") tcp_tw_recycle went away in 2017. Zhouyan Deng reported off-path TCP source port leakage via SYN cookie side-channel that can be fixed in multiple ways. One of them is to bring back TCP ports in TS offset randomization. As a bonus, we perform a single siphash() computation to provide both an ISN and a TS offset.

net: Retire DCCP socket.

2025-04-12T01:58:10+00:00

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer had been inactive for five years. In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that, the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates or adjustments related to TCP. Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice."). Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0] There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license, the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating: "This is not Open Source software." The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further communication since then. Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden. Therefore, it's time to remove it. Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path. Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested.

While reading these knobs, they can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to their readers. - tcp_sack - tcp_window_scaling - tcp_timestamps Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: resalt the secret every 10 seconds

2022-05-05T02:22:21+00:00

In order to limit the ability for an observer to recognize the source ports sequence used to contact a set of destinations, we should periodically shuffle the secret. 10 seconds looks effective enough without causing particular issues.

secure_seq: use the 64 bits of the siphash for port offset calculation

2022-05-05T02:22:20+00:00

SipHash replaced MD5 in secure_ipv{4,6}_port_ephemeral() via commit 7cd23e5300c1 ("secure_seq: use SipHash in place of MD5"), but the output remained truncated to 32-bit only. In order to exploit more bits from the hash, let's make the functions return the full 64-bit of siphash_3u32(). We also make sure the port offset calculation in __inet_hash_connect() remains done on 32-bit to avoid the need for div_u64_rem() and an extra cost on 32-bit systems. Cc: Jason A.

crypto: lib/sha1 - remove unnecessary includes of linux/cryptohash.h

2020-05-08T05:32:17+00:00

sounds very generic and important, like it's the header to include if you're doing cryptographic hashing in the kernel. But actually it only includes the library implementation of the SHA-1 compression function (not even the full SHA-1). This should basically never be used anymore; SHA-1 is no longer considered secure, and there are much better ways to do cryptographic hashing in the kernel. Most files that include this header don't actually need it. So in preparation for removing it, remove all these unneeded includes of it. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

infiniband: i40iw, nes: don't use wall time for TCP sequence numbers

2018-07-11T18:10:19+00:00

The nes infiniband driver uses current_kernel_time() to get a nanosecond granunarity timestamp to initialize its tcp sequence counters. This is one of only a few remaining users of that deprecated function, so we should try to get rid of it. Aside from using a deprecated API, there are several problems I see here: - Using a CLOCK_REALTIME based time source makes it predictable in case the time base is synchronized. - Using a coarse timestamp means it only gets updated once per jiffie, making it even more predictable in order to avoid having to access the hardware clock source - The upper 2 bits are always zero because the nanoseconds are at most 999999999. For the Linux TCP implementation, we use secure_tcp_seq(), which appears to be appropriate here as well, and solves all the above problems. i40iw uses a variant of the same code, so I do that same thing there for ipv4. Unlike nes, i40e also supports ipv6, which needs to call secure_tcpv6_seq instead. Acked-by: Shiraz Saleem Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe
