reset TCP connections which are in the SYN_SENT state, if the sequence
number in the echoed ICMP reply is correct. This behavior can be
controlled by the sysctl net.inet.tcp.icmp_may_rst.
Currently, only subtypes 2,3,10,11,12 are treated as such
(port, protocol and administrative unreachables).
Assocaiate an error code with these resets which is reported to the
user application: ENETRESET.
Disallow resetting TCP sessions which are not in a SYN_SENT state.

created erroneous ratelimiting and false alarms in some cases. The code
has now been reorganized so that the checks for validity come before
the call to badport_bandlim. Additionally, a few changes in the symbolic
names of the bandlim types have been made, as well as a clarification of
exactly which type each RST case falls under.

quote begin.
A Destination Unreachable message that is received MUST be
reported to the transport layer. The transport layer SHOULD
use the information appropriately; for example, see Sections
4.1.3.3, 4.2.3.9, and 4.2.4 below. A transport protocol
that has its own mechanism for notifying the sender that a
port is unreachable (e.g., TCP, which sends RST segments)
MUST nevertheless accept an ICMP Port Unreachable for the
same purpose.

I've written a small extension that implement this, it also create
a sysctl "net.inet.tcp.icmp_admin_prohib_like_rst" to control if
this new behaviour is activated.
When it's activated (set to 1) we'll treat a ICMP administratively
prohibited message (icmp type 3 code 9, 10 and 13) for a TCP
sessions, as if we recived a TCP RST, but only if the TCP session
is in SYN_SENT state.
The reason for only reacting when in SYN_SENT state, is that this
will solve the problem, and at the same time minimize the risk of
this being abused.
I suggest that we enable this new behaviour by default, but it
would be a change of current behaviour, so if people prefer to
leave it disabled by default, at least for now, this would be ok
for me, the attached diff actually have the sysctl set to 0 by
default.

1. ICMP ECHO and TSTAMP replies are now rate limited.
2. RSTs generated due to packets sent to open and unopen ports
are now limited by seperate counters.
3. Each rate limiting queue now has its own description, as
follows:
Limiting icmp unreach response from 439 to 200 packets per second
Limiting closed port RST response from 283 to 200 packets per second
Limiting open port RST response from 18724 to 200 packets per second
Limiting icmp ping response from 211 to 200 packets per second
Limiting icmp tstamp response from 394 to 200 packets per second

fields between host and network byte order. The details:
o icmp_error() now does not add IP header length. This fixes the problem
when icmp_error() is called from ip_forward(). In this case the ip_len
of the original IP datagram returned with ICMP error was wrong.
o icmp_error() expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_id and ip_off in host
byte order, so DTRT and convert these fields back to network byte order
before sending a message. This fixes the problem described in PR 16240
and PR 20877 (ip_id field was returned in host byte order).
o ip_ttl decrement operation in ip_forward() was moved down to make sure
that it does not corrupt the copy of original IP datagram passed later
to icmp_error().
o A copy of original IP datagram in ip_forward() was made a read-write,
independent copy. This fixes the problem I first reported to Garrett
Wollman and Bill Fenner and later put in audit trail of PR 16240:
ip_output() (not always) converts fields of original datagram to network
byte order, but because copy (mcopy) and its original (m) most likely
share the same mbuf cluster, ip_output()'s manipulations on original
also corrupted the copy.
o ip_output() now expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_off and (what is
significant) ip_id in host byte order. It was a headache for years that
ip_id was handled differently. The only compatibility issue here is the
raw IP socket interface with IP_HDRINCL socket option set and a non-zero
ip_id field, but ip.4 manual page was unclear on whether in this case
ip_id field should be in host or network byte order.
o Drop all broadcast and multicast source addresses in tcp_input.
o Enable ICMP_BANDLIM in GENERIC.
o Change default to 200/s from 100/s. This will still stop the attack, but
is conservative enough to do this close to code freeze.
This is not the optimal patch for the problem, but is likely the least
intrusive patch that can be made for this.
