[ Upstream commitc410cb974f] When a connection is re-used, following can happen: [ connection starts to close, fin sent in either direction ] > syn # initator quickly reuses connection < ack # peer sends a challenge ack > rst # rst, sequence number == ack_seq of previous challenge ack > syn # this syn is expected to pass Problem is that the rst will fail window validation, so it gets tagged as invalid. If ruleset drops such packets, we get repeated syn-retransmits until initator gives up or peer starts responding with syn/ack. Before the commit indicated in the "Fixes" tag below this used to work: The challenge-ack made conntrack re-init state based on the challenge ack itself, so the following rst would pass window validation. Add challenge-ack support: If we get ack for syn, record the ack_seq, and then check if the rst sequence number matches the last ack number seen in reverse direction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
