Subject: RE: [PATCH 2/2] ip_frag: randomize hash seed
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 12:24:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0a3e479bf9d64970a87c1173f29c53cc@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408161947.285185-3-stephen@networkplumber.org>
> Both ipv4_frag_hash() and ipv6_frag_hash() use CRC32 (x86/ARM)
> or jhash with a fixed, publicly known prime seed (0xeaad8405).
> An attacker who can send crafted IP fragments can precompute hash
> collisions, causing all fragments to land in the same bucket.
> After bucket_entries concurrent flows collide, new flows are dropped.
>
> Fix by using a random hash seed added at table creation time.
>
> Fixes: 416707812c03 ("ip_frag: refactor reassembly code into a proper library")
