Security improvements:
- Increase the size of each syncookie secret from 32 to 128 bits
in order to make brute force attacks on the secrets much more
difficult.
- Always return the lowest order dword from the MD5 hash; this
allows us to expose 2 more bits of the cookie and makes ACK
floods which seek to guess the cookie value more difficult.
Performance improvements:
- Increase the lifetime of each syncookie from 4 seconds to 16
seconds. This increases the usefulness of syncookies during
an attack.
- From Yahoo!: Reduce the number of calls to MD5Update; this
results in a ~17% increase in cookie generation time here.

packets coming out of a GIF tunnel are re-processed by ipfw, et. al.
By default they are not reprocessed. With the option they are.
This reverts 1.214. Prior to that change packets were not re-processed.
After they were which caused problems because packets do not have
distinguishing characteristics (like a special network if) that allows
them to be filtered specially.
This is really a stopgap measure designed for immediate MFC so that
4.8 has consistent handling to what was in 4.7.

OSes has probably caused more problems than it ever solved. Allow the
user to retire the old behavior by specifying their own privileged
range with,
net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh default = IPPORT_RESERVED - 1
net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlo default = 0
Now you can run that webserver without ever needing root at all. Or
just imagine, an ftpd that can really drop privileges, rather than
just set the euid, and still do PORT data transfers from 20/tcp.
Two edge cases to note,
# sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0
Opens all ports to everyone, and,
# sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=65535

were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a "copy" operation. This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain. This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.
These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block. This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.
Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them. We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.
Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.

Note that the original RFC 1323 (PAWS) says in 4.2.1 that the out of
order / reverse-time-indexed packet should be acknowledged as specified
in RFC-793 page 69 then dropped. The original PAWS code in FreeBSD (1994)
simply acknowledged the segment unconditionally, which is incorrect, and
was fixed in 1.183 (2002). At the moment we do not do checks for SYN or FIN
in addition to (tlen != 0), which may or may not be correct, but the
worst that ought to happen should be a retry by the sender.
