Linux Kernel TCP MSS mechanism Analyse
Overview
Last Week, Linux fixes 4 kernel CVE vulnerabilities[1]. Among them, CVE-2019-11477 makes me feel like a very powerful Dos vulnerability. However, because there are other things interrupted, my research progress is slower. For now, there have been some related analysis article in the Internet.[2][3]
In the process of trying to reproduce the CVE-2019-11477 vulnerability. In the first step, I encountered a problem in setting the MSS. I could not achieve the expected results. However, the current published analysis article did not elaborate on this part. So this article will analyze the MSS mechanism of TCP through the Linux kernel source code.
