From 58c0ecfd8d9871cfa35bcdbf3e7b3ee9ca62ea67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 00:19:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv6: mld: implement RFC3810 MLDv2 mode only RFC3810, 10. Security Considerations says under subsection 10.1. Query Message: A forged Version 1 Query message will put MLDv2 listeners on that link in MLDv1 Host Compatibility Mode. This scenario can be avoided by providing MLDv2 hosts with a configuration option to ignore Version 1 messages completely. Hence, implement a MLDv2-only mode that will ignore MLDv1 traffic: echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ethX/force_mld_version or echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/force_mld_version Note that device has a higher precedence as it was previously also the case in the macro MLD_V1_SEEN() that would "short-circuit" if condition on case.
