state. Those changed attempted to work around the changed invariant
that inp->in_socket was sometimes now NULL, but the logic wasn't
quite right, meaning that inp->in_socket would be dereferenced by
cr_canseesocket() if security.bsd.see_other_uids, jail, or MAC
were in use. Attempt to clarify and correct the logic.
Note: the work-around originally introduced with the reduced TCP
wait state handling to use cr_cansee() instead of cr_canseesocket()
in this case isn't really right, although it "Does the right thing"
for most of the cases in the base system. We'll need to address
this at some point in the future.

This fulfills the host requirements for userland support by
way of the setsockopt() IP_EVIL_INTENT message.
There are three sysctl tunables provided to govern system behavior.
net.inet.ip.rfc3514:
Enables support for rfc3514. As this is an
Informational RFC and support is not yet widespread
this option is disabled by default.
net.inet.ip.hear_no_evil
If set the host will discard all received evil packets.
net.inet.ip.speak_no_evil
If set the host will discard all transmitted evil packets.
The IP statistics counter 'ips_evil' (available via 'netstat') provides
information on the number of 'evil' packets recieved.
For reference, the '-E' option to 'ping' has been provided to demonstrate
and test the implementation.
Quote from kern/37573:
There is an obvious race in netinet/ip_dummynet.c:config_pipe().
Interrupts are not blocked when changing the params of an
existing pipe. The specific crash observed:
... -> config_pipe -> set_fs_parms -> config_red
malloc a new w_q_lookup table but take an interrupt before
intializing it, interrupt handler does:
... -> dummynet_io -> red_drops
red_drops dereferences the uninitialized (zeroed) w_q_lookup
table.
o Flush accumulated credits for idle pipes.
o Flush accumulated credits when change pipe characteristics.
o Change dn_flow_queue.numbytes type to unsigned long.
Overlapping dn_flow_queue->numbytes in ready_event() leads to
numbytes becomes negative and SET_TICKS() macro returns a very
big value. heap_insert() overlaps dn_key again and inserts a
queue to a ready heap with a sched_time points to the past.
That leads to an "infinity" loop.

additional flags argument to indicate blocking disposition, and
pass in M_NOWAIT from the IP reassembly code to indicate that
blocking is not OK when labeling a new IP fragment reassembly
queue. This should eliminate some of the WITNESS warnings that
have started popping up since fine-grained IP stack locking
started going in; if memory allocation fails, the creation of
the fragment queue will be aborted.

- Don't try to fragment the packet if it's smaller than mbuf_frag_size.
- Preserve the size of the mbuf chain which is modified by m_split().
- Check that m_split() didn't return NULL.
- Make it so we don't end up with two M_PKTHDR mbuf in the chain.
- Use m->m_pkthdr.len instead of m->m_len so that we fragment the whole
chain and not just the first mbuf.
- Fix a nearby style bug and rework the logic of the loops so that it's
more clear.
This is still not quite right, because we're clearly abusing m_split() to
do something it was not designed for, but at least it works now. We
should probably move this code into a m_fragment() function when it's
correct.
allows you to tell ip_output to fragment all outgoing packets
into mbuf fragments of size net.inet.ip.mbuf_frag_size bytes.
This is an excellent way to test if network drivers can properly
handle long mbuf chains being passed to them.
net.inet.ip.mbuf_frag_size defaults to 0 (no fragmentation)
so that you can at least boot before your network driver dies. :)
comes in on is the same interface that we would route out of to get to
the packet's source address. Essentially automates an anti-spoofing
check using the information in the routing table.
Experimental. The usage and rule format for the feature may still be
subject to change.
drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

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.

This reverts 1.214. Prior to that change packets were not re-processed.
After they were which caused problems because packets do not have

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
Locks all network activity to root only (which could actually have
been achieved before with ipfw(8), but is somewhat more
complicated).
For those who stick to the old religion that 0-1023 belong to root and
root alone, don't touch the knobs (or even lock them by raising
securelevel(8)), and nothing changes.
