net/flow_dissector: switch to siphash
UDP IPv6 packets auto flowlabels are using a 32bit secret (static u32 hashrnd in net/core/flow_dissector.c) and apply jhash() over fields known by the receivers. Attackers can easily infer the 32bit secret and use this information to identify a device and/or user, since this 32bit secret is only set at boot time. Really, using jhash() to generate cookies sent on the wire is a serious security concern. Trying to change the rol32(hash, 16) in ip6_make_flowlabel() would be a dead end. Trying to periodically change the secret (like in sch_sfq.c) could change paths taken in the network for long lived flows. Let's switch to siphash, as we did in commit df453700e8d8 ("inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash") Using a cryptographically strong pseudo random function will solve this privacy issue and more generally remove other weak points in the stack. Packet schedulers using skb_get_hash_perturb() benefit from this change. Fixes: b56774163f99 ("ipv6: Enable auto flow labels by default") Fixes: 42240901f7c4 ("ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels") Fixes: 67800f9b1f4e ("ipv6: Call skb_get_hash_flowi6 to get skb->hash in ip6_make_flowlabel") Fixes: cb1ce2ef387b ("ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Jonathan Berger <jonathann1@walla.com> Reported-by: Amit Klein <aksecurity@gmail.com> Reported-by: Benny Pinkas <benny@pinkas.net> Cc: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
