From 40e068f53a10a25013dc3f0396cee893ba72c068 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2019 10:32:19 -0700 Subject: inet: stop leaking jiffies on the wire [ Upstream commit a904a0693c189691eeee64f6c6b188bd7dc244e9 ] Historically linux tried to stick to RFC 791, 1122, 2003 for IPv4 ID field generation. RFC 6864 made clear that no matter how hard we try, we can not ensure unicity of IP ID within maximum lifetime for all datagrams with a given source address/destination address/protocol tuple. Linux uses a per socket inet generator (inet_id), initialized at connection startup with a XOR of 'jiffies' and other fields that appear clear on the wire. Thiemo Nagel pointed that this strategy is a privacy concern as this provides 16 bits of entropy to fingerprint devices. Let's switch to a random starting point, this is just as good as far as RFC 6864 is concerned and does not leak anything critical.
