netfilter: conntrack: re-init state for retransmitted syn-ack
TCP conntrack assumes that a syn-ack retransmit is identical to the
previous syn-ack. This isn't correct and causes stuck 3whs in some more
esoteric scenarios. tcpdump to illustrate the problem:
client > server: Flags [S] seq 1365731894, win 29200, [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 2083035583 ecr 0,wscale 7]
server > client: Flags [S.] seq 145824453, ack 643160523, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215367629 ecr 2082921663]
Note the invalid/outdated synack ack number.
Conntrack marks this syn-ack as out-of-window/invalid, but it did
initialize the reply direction parameters based on this packets content.
client > server: Flags [S] seq 1365731894, win 29200, [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 2083036623 ecr 0,wscale 7]
... retransmit...
server > client: Flags [S.], seq 145824453, ack 643160523, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215368644 ecr 2082921663]
and another bogus synack. This repeats, then client re-uses for a new
attempt:
client > server: Flags [S], seq 2375731741, win 29200, [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 2083100223 ecr 0,wscale 7]
server > client: Flags [S.], seq 145824453, ack 643160523, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215430754 ecr 2082921663]
... but still gets a invalid syn-ack.
This repeats until:
server > client: Flags [S.], seq 145824453, ack 643160523, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215437785 ecr 2082921663]
server > client: Flags [R.], seq 145824454, ack 643160523, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215443451 ecr 2082921663]
client > server: Flags [S], seq 2375731741, win 29200, [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 2083115583 ecr 0,wscale 7]
server > client: Flags [S.], seq 162602410, ack 2375731742, win 65535, [mss 8952,wscale 5,TS val 3215445754 ecr 2083115583]
This syn-ack has the correct ack number, but conntrack flags it as
invalid: The internal state was created from the first syn-ack seen
so the sequence number of the syn-ack is treated as being outside of
the announced window.
Don't assume that retransmitted syn-ack is identical to previous one.
Treat it like the first syn-ack and reinit state.
