That's specially true for suboptions that\nwould be present twice, but with different attributes.\n\nThe new restrictions are the same as the ones applied on the output\nside, with mptcp_write_options. The same rules can be reused with a\nsmall fix: an MP_FASTCLOSE can be used with a DSS when the sender picks\nthis option [1], which is not the case on Linux. Here are the rules:\n\n Which options can be used together?\n\n X: mutually exclusive\n O: often used together\n C: can be used together in some cases\n P: could be used together but we prefer not to (optimisations)\n\n | Opt: | MPC | MPJ | DSS | ADD | RM | PRIO | FAIL | FC |\n |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n | MPC |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n | MPJ | X |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n | DSS | X | X |------|------|------|------|------|------|\n | ADD | X | X | P |------|------|------|------|------|\n | RM | C | C | C | P |------|------|------|------|\n | PRIO | X | C | C | C | C |------|------|------|\n | FAIL | X | X | C | X | X | X |------|------|\n | FC | X | X | P | X | X | X | X |------|\n | RST | X | X | X | X | X | X | O | O |\n |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n\nThe only difference is with the 'P': another stack could send and\nADD_ADDR with other suboptions (DSS, RM_ADDR), and this should be\nallowed.\n\nA few points of attention:\n\n - In theory, an MP_CAPABLE could be used with a RM_ADDR, but there is\n no reason to add it with a SYN. Note that even with a 4th ACK, it\n doesn't seem to be useful, except when IDs are known in advance via\n another channel. Better not to break that.\n\n - Now, combining both an MP_CAPABLE and an MP_JOIN will no longer\n result to a reject of the two options, but only the second suboption\n is ignored. That seems OK to do that for this unexpected error. At\n least now all inconsistent combinations are handled the same way.\n This could change later in next. This also means the explicit checks\n for having both MPC + MPJ in subflow.c will now be unreachable.\n That's fine, they will be removed in a follow-up patch.\n\n - In case of conflicting combinations, the extra suboption(s) is/are\n ignored: having such combinations either means the remote peer is\n buggy, or is evil. The simplest action is then taken in this case:\n stop processing the current suboption.\n\n - In mp_opt->suboptions, there is also a bit reserved to the checksum,\n which can be used in an MP_CAPABLE and a DSS. Each time a DSS option\n can be used in parallel with another option, the checksum can be set,\n so the verification is combined into a new OPTIONS_MPTCP_DSS macro.\n\n - An MP_CAPABLE ACK can carry a Data-Level Length, and an optional\n Checksum: they are the same as the ones found in a DSS, because a DSS\n cannot be used in parallel to an MP_CAPABLE. Similarly, even if there\n is room, a DSS cannot be used with an MP_JOIN.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0e2210af439755a2af352eea4178261dcf61742e" }, { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "dc1d8d3eb345c616fbe922a010fa391c72c54d52" }, { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "099bfcbd0c16ae9b50aba2a1bea033e63f895da7" }, { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "a04dcc784959e4702048785d87e0d029bd2fbdcb" }, { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "6bab907292155513af397a12ccb488acbfc30d79" }, { "version": "eda7acddf8080bb2d022a8d4b8b2345eb80c63ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "b6ee361524641f57b2e2363f7737f20e17f67827" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "5.6", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "5.6" }, { "version": "5.15.218", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.6.153", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.105", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.46", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "7.1.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*" }, { "version": "7.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
