+Subject: [PATCH 1/8] tcp: make challenge acks less predictable
+Status: RO
+Content-Length: 2797
+Lines: 78
+
+[ Upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 ]
+
+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.
+
+This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds
+some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack
+sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes.
+
+Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus.
+
+Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting
+to remove the host limit in the future.
+
+v2: randomize the count of challenge acks per second, not the period.
+
+Fixes: 282f23c6ee34 ("tcp: implement RFC 5961 3.2")

+Subject: tcp: make challenge acks faster
+
+From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at linuxfoundation.org>
+
+When backporting upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd ("tcp: make challenge acks
+less predictable") I negelected to use the correct ACCESS* type macros.
+This fixes that up to hopefully speed things up a bit more.
+
+Thanks to Chas Wiliams for the 3.10 backport which reminded me of this.
