generation scheme. Users may now select between the currently used
OpenBSD algorithm and the older random positive increment method.
While the OpenBSD algorithm is more secure, it also breaks TIME_WAIT
handling; this is causing trouble for an increasing number of folks.
To switch between generation schemes, one sets the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme. 0 = random positive increments,
1 = the OpenBSD algorithm. 1 is still the default.
Once a secure _and_ compatible algorithm is implemented, this sysctl
will be removed.

RTF_DYNAMIC route, it got freed twice). I am not sure what was
the actual problem in 1992, but the current behavior is memory
leak if PCB holds a reference to a dynamically created/modified
routing table entry. (rt_refcnt>0 and we don't call rtfree().)
My test bed was:
1. Set net.inet.tcp.msl to a low value (for test purposes), e.g.,
5 seconds, to speed up the transition of TCP connection to a
"closed" state.
2. Add a network route which causes ICMP redirect from the gateway.
3. ping(8) host H that matches this route; this creates RTF_DYNAMIC
RTF_HOST route to H. (I was forced to use ICMP to cause gateway
to generate ICMP host redirect, because gateway in question is a
4.2-STABLE system vulnerable to a problem that was fixed later in
ip_icmp.c,v 1.39.2.6, and TCP packets with DF bit set were
triggering this bug.)
4. telnet(1) to H
5. Block access to H with ipfw(8)
6. Send something in telnet(1) session; this causes EPERM, followed
by an in_losing() call in a few seconds.
7. Delete ipfw(8) rule blocking access to H, and wait for TCP
connection moving to a CLOSED state; PCB is freed.
8. Delete host route to H.
9. Watch with netstat(1) that `rttrash' increased.
10. Repeat steps 3-9, and watch `rttrash' increases.

around, use a common function for looking up and extracting the tunables
from the kernel environment. This saves duplicating the same function
over and over again. This way typically has an overhead of 8 bytes + the
path string, versus about 26 bytes + the path string.
One way we can reduce the amount of traffic we send in response to a SYN
flood is to eliminate the RST we send when removing a connection from
the listen queue. Since we are being flooded, we can assume that the
majority of connections in the queue are bogus. Our RST is unwanted
by these hosts, just as our SYN-ACK was. Genuine connection attempts
will result in hosts responding to our SYN-ACK with an ACK packet. We
will automatically return a RST response to their ACK when it gets to us
if the connection has been dropped, so the early RST doesn't serve the
genuine class of connections much. In summary, we can reduce the number
of packets we send by a factor of two without any loss in functionality
by ensuring that RST packets are not sent when dropping a connection
from the listen queue.

A attacker sending a lot of bogus fragmented packets to the target

to put the target machine into mbuf starvation state.
By setting a upper limit on the number of reassembly queues we
prevent this situation.
This upper limit is controlled by the new sysctl
net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets which defaults to 200,
as the IPv6 case, this should be sufficient for most
systmes, but you might want to increase it if you have
lots of TCP sessions.
I'm working on making the default value dependent on

If you want old behaviour (no upper limit) set this sysctl
to a negative value.
If you don't want to accept any fragments (not recommended)
set the sysctl to 0 (zero).

This closes a minor information leak which allows a remote observer to
determine the rate at which the machine is generating packets, since the

using it. Not checking this may have caused the wrong IP address to be
used when processing certain IP options (see example below). This also
caused the wrong route to be passed to ip_output() when forwarding, but
fortunately ip_output() is smart enough to detect this.
This example demonstrates the wrong behavior of the Record Route option
observed with this bug. Host ``freebsd'' is acting as the gateway for
the ``sysv''.
1. On the gateway, we add the route to the destination. The new route
will use the primary address of the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1:
: freebsd# route add 10.0.0.66 -iface lo0 -reject
: add host 10.0.0.66: gateway lo0
2. From the client, we ping the destination. We see the correct replies.
Please note that this also causes the relevant route on the ``freebsd''
gateway to be cached in ipforward_rt variable:
: sysv# ping -snv 10.0.0.66
: PING 10.0.0.66: 56 data bytes
: ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.0.115
: ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.0.115
: ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.0.115
:
: ----10.0.0.66 PING Statistics----
: 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
3. On the gateway, we delete the route to the destination, thus making
the destination reachable through the `default' route:
: freebsd# route delete 10.0.0.66
: delete host 10.0.0.66
4. From the client, we ping destination again, now with the RR option
turned on. The surprise here is the 127.0.0.1 in the first reply.
This is caused by the bug in ip_rtaddr() not checking the cached
route is still up befor use. The debug code also shows that the
wrong (down) route is further passed to ip_output(). The latter
detects that the route is down, and replaces the bogus route with
the valid one, so we see the correct replies (192.168.0.115) on
further probes:
