From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:17:42 +0000 (+0200) Subject: kernel: backport upstream challenge ACK fix (CVE-2016-5696) X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3c2c31bb66e5b247ffbb3cafac2a21d441daef39;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fwigyori.git kernel: backport upstream challenge ACK fix (CVE-2016-5696) Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS (RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic paper. Backports upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 to the used LEDE kernel versions.
