rev 1.66. This fix contains both belt and suspenders.
Belt: ignore packets where src == dst and srcport == dstport in TCPS_LISTEN.
These packets can only legitimately occur when connecting a socket to itself,
which doesn't go through TCPS_LISTEN (it goes CLOSED->SYN_SENT->SYN_RCVD->
ESTABLISHED). This prevents the "standard" "land" attack, although doesn't
prevent the multi-homed variation.
Suspenders: send a RST in response to a SYN/ACK in SYN_RECEIVED state.
The only packets we should get in SYN_RECEIVED are
1. A retransmitted SYN, or
2. An ack of our SYN/ACK.
The "land" attack depends on us accepting our own SYN/ACK as an ACK;
in SYN_RECEIVED state; this should prevent all "land" attacks.
We also move up the sequence number check for the ACK in SYN_RECEIVED.
This neither helps nor hurts with respect to the "land" attack, but
puts more of the validation checking in one spot.

This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.
consequence, ipfw's list command now adjusts its output at runtime
based on the largest packet/byte counter values.
NOTE:
o The ipfw struct has changed requiring a recompile of both kernel
and userland ipfw utility.
o This probably should not be brought into 2.2.

fix PR#3618 weren't sufficient since malloc() can block - allowing the
net interrupts in and leading to the same problem mentioned in the
PR (a panic). The order of operations has been changed so that this
is no longer a problem.
Needs to be brought into the 2.2.x branch.

where if you are using the "reset tcp" firewall command,
the kernel would write ethernet headers onto random kernel stack locations.
Fought to the death by: terry, julian, archie.
fix valid for 2.2 series as well.
The #ifdef IPXIP in netipx/ipx_if.h is OK (used from ipx_usrreq.c and
ifconfig.c only).
I also fixed a typo IPXTUNNEL -> IPTUNNEL (and #ifdef'ed out the code
inside, as it never could have compiled - doh.)
close small security hole where an atacker could sendpackets with
IPDIVERT protocol, and select how it would be diverted thus bypassing
the ipfirewall. Discovered by inspection rather than attack.
(you'd have to know how the firewall was configured (EXACTLY) to
make use of this but..)
hope i've found out all files that actually depend on this dependancy.
IMHO, it's not very good practice to change the size of internal
structs depending on kernel options.
Distribute all but the most fundamental malloc types. This time I also
remembered the trick to making things static: Put "static" in front of
them.
A couple of finer points by: bde
represent in the TCP header. The old code did effectively:
win = min(win, MAX_ALLOWED);
win = max(win, what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time);
so if what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time is bigger than can be
represented in the header (e.g. large buffers and no window scaling)
then we stuff a too-big number into a short. This fix reverses the
order of the comparisons.

RST's being ignored, keeping a connection around until it times out, and
thus has the opposite effect of what was intended (which is to make the
system more robust to DoS attacks).
