/*
* TCP does not adequately validate segments before updating timestamp value
* http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/637934
*
* RFC-1323 (TCP Extensions for High Performance)
*
* 4.2.1 defines how the PAWS algorithm should drop packets with invalid
* timestamp options:
*
* R1) If there is a Timestamps option in the arriving segment
* and SEG.TSval < TS.Recent and if TS.Recent is valid (see
* later discussion), then treat the arriving segment as not
* acceptable:
*
* Send an acknowledgement in reply as specified in
* RFC-793 page 69 and drop the segment.
*
* 3.4 defines what timestamp options to accept:
*
* (2) If Last.ACK.sent falls within the range of sequence numbers
* of an incoming segment:
*
* SEG.SEQ <= Last.ACK.sent < SEG.SEQ + SEG.LEN
*
* then the TSval from the segment is copied to TS.Recent;
* otherwise, the TSval is ignored.
*
* http://community.roxen.com/developers/idocs/drafts/
* draft-jacobson-tsvwg-1323bis-00.html
*
* 3.4 suggests an slightly different check like
*
* (2) If: SEG.TSval >= TSrecent and SEG.SEQ <= Last.ACK.sent
* then SEG.TSval is copied to TS.Recent; otherwise, it is
* ignored.
*
* and explains this change
*
* APPENDIX C: CHANGES FROM RFC-1072, RFC-1185, RFC-1323
*
* There are additional changes in this document from RFC-1323.
* These changes are:
* (b) In RFC-1323, section 3.4, step (2) of the algorithm to control
* which timestamp is echoed was incorrect in two regards:
* (1) It failed to update TSrecent for a retransmitted segment
* that resulted from a lost ACK.
* (2) It failed if SEG.LEN = 0.
* In the new algorithm, the case of SEG.TSval = TSrecent is
* included for consistency with the PAWS test.
*
* At least OpenBSD and FreeBSD contain this code instead:
*
* sys/netinet/tcp_input.c tcp_input()
*
* **
* * If last ACK falls within this segment's sequence numbers,
* * record its timestamp.
* * NOTE that the test is modified according to the latest
* * proposal of the tcplw@cray.com list (Braden 1993/04/26).
* **
* if ((to.to_flags & TOF_TS) != 0 &&
* SEQ_LEQ(th->th_seq, tp->last_ack_sent)) {
* tp->ts_recent_age = ticks;
* tp->ts_recent = to.to_tsval;
* }
*
* The problem here is that the packet the timestamp is accepted from doesn't
* need to have a valid th_seq or th_ack. This point of execution is reached
* for packets with arbitrary th_ack values and th_seq values of half the
* possible value range, because the first 'if (todrop > tlen)' check in the
* function explicitely continues execution to process ACKs.
*
* If an attacker knows (or guesses) the source and destination addresses and
* ports of a connection between two peers, he can send spoofed TCP packets
* to either peer containing bogus timestamp options. Since half of the
* possible th_seq and timestamp values are accepted, four packets containing
* two random values and their integer wraparound opposites are sufficient to
* get one random timestamp accepted by the receipient. Further packets from
* the real peer will get dropped by PAWS, and the TCP connection stalls and
* times out.
*
* The following change reverts the tcp_input() check back to the implemented
* suggested by draft-jacobson-tsvwg-1323bis-00.txt
*
* if (opti.ts_present && TSTMP_GEQ(opti.ts_val, tp->ts_recent) &&
* SEQ_LEQ(th->th_seq, tp->last_ack_sent)) {
* + if (SEQ_LEQ(tp->last_ack_sent, th->th_seq + tlen +
* + ((tiflags & (TH_SYN|TH_FIN)) != 0)))
* + tp->ts_recent = opti.ts_val;
* + else
* + tp->ts_recent = 0;
* tp->ts_recent_age = tcp_now;
* - tp->ts_recent = opti.ts_val;
* }
*
* I can't find Braden's proposal referenced in the comment. It seems to
* pre-date draft-jacobson-tsvwg-1323bis-00.txt and might be outdated by
* it.
