From c7272c2f1229125f74f22dcdd59de9bbd804f1c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sabrina Dubroca Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:13:43 +0100 Subject: net: ipv4: don't allow setting net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu below 68 According to RFC 1191 sections 3 and 4, ICMP frag-needed messages indicating an MTU below 68 should be rejected: A host MUST never reduce its estimate of the Path MTU below 68 octets. and (talking about ICMP frag-needed's Next-Hop MTU field): This field will never contain a value less than 68, since every router "must be able to forward a datagram of 68 octets without fragmentation". Furthermore, by letting net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu be set to negative values, we can end up with a very large PMTU when (-1) is cast into u32. Let's also make ip_rt_min_pmtu a u32, since it's only ever compared to unsigned ints. Reported-by: Jianlin Shi Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca Reviewed-by: Stefano Brivio Signed-off-by: David S.
