      tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listener · 658ddaaf
      Shawn Lu 提交于
      TCP RST mechanism is broken in TCP md5(RFC2385). When
      connection is gone, md5 key is lost, sending RST
      without md5 hash is deem to ignored by peer. This can
      be a problem since RST help protocal like bgp to fast
      recove from peer crash.
      
      In most case, users of tcp md5, such as bgp and ldp,
      have listener on both sides to accept connection from peer.
      md5 keys for peers are saved in listening socket.
      
      There are two cases in finding md5 key when connection is
      lost:
      1.Passive receive RST: The message is send to well known port,
      tcp will associate it with listner. md5 key is gotten from
      listener.
      
      2.Active receive RST (no sock): The message is send to ative
      side, there is no socket associated with the message. In this
      case, finding listener from source port, then find md5 key from
      listener.
      
      we are not loosing sercuriy here:
      packet is checked with md5 hash. No RST is generated
      if md5 hash doesn't match or no md5 key can be found.
