[ovs-dev] [PATCH] datapath-windows: Do not drop Ip fragments less than MIN_FRAGMENT_SIZE

[aserdean at ovn.org]

I guess you can also remove the define
(https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/datapath-windows/ovsext/IpFr
agment.c#L30)
since it is not used anywhere else.

Thanks,
Alin.

Subiect: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] datapath-windows: Do not drop Ip fragments less
than MIN_FRAGMENT_SIZE

Previously ipfragment module would drop any fragments less than
MIN_FRAGMENT_SIZE (400 bytes), which was added to safeguard against the
vulnerability CVE-2000-0305. This check is incorrect, since minimum size of
the Ipfragment is 68 bytes (i.e. max length of Ip Header + 8 bytes of
L4 header). So Ip fragments less than MIN_FRAGMENT_SIZE (400 bytes) is not
guranted to be malformed or illegal.

To guard against security vulnerability CVE-2000-0305, for a given ip
datagram, ipfragments should be dropped only when number of smallest
fragments recieved reaches a certain threshold.
