From 5a7d47edfa7b0fa1a769fc1b2e013d34b3012bf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Paasch Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:05:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tcp md5sig: Use skb's saddr when replying to an incoming segment commit 30791ac41927ebd3e75486f9504b6d2280463bf0 upstream. The MD5-key that belongs to a connection is identified by the peer's IP-address. When we are in tcp_v4(6)_reqsk_send_ack(), we are replying to an incoming segment from tcp_check_req() that failed the seq-number checks. Thus, to find the correct key, we need to use the skb's saddr and not the daddr. This bug seems to have been there since quite a while, but probably got unnoticed because the consequences are not catastrophic. We will call tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack only to send a challenge-ACK back to the peer, thus the connection doesn't really fail.
