It controls if the system is to accept source routed packets.
It used to be such that, no matter if the setting of net.inet.ip.sourceroute,
source routed packets destined at us would be accepted. Now it is
controllable with eth default set to NOT accept those.
This means that a FreeBSD will only forward source routed packets
when both net.inet.ip.forwarding and net.inet.ip.sourceroute are set
to 1.
You can hit me now ;-)

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.
these are quite extensive additions to the ipfw code.
they include a change to the API because the old method was
broken, but the user view is kept the same.
The new code allows a particular match to skip forward to a particular
line number, so that blocks of rules can be
used without checking all the intervening rules.
There are also many more ways of rejecting
connections especially TCP related, and
many many more ...
see the man page for a complete description.
to fill in the nfs_diskless structure, at the cost of some kernel
bloat. The advantage is that this code works on a wider range of
network adapters than netboot. Several new kernel options are
documented in LINT.
Obtained from: parts of the code comes from NetBSD.
affect programs that sit on top of divert(4) sockets. The
multicast routing code already unconditionally zeros the sum
before recalculating.
Any code that unconditionaly sums a packet without first zeroing
the sum (assuming that it's already zero'd) will break. No such
code seems to exist.
set it in the first place, independent of whether sin->sin_port
is set.
The result is that diverted packets that are being forwarded
will be diverted once and only once on the way in (ip_input())
and again, once and only once on the way out (ip_output()) -
twice in total. ICMP packets that don't contain a port will
now also be diverted.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
using a sockaddr_dl.
Fix the other packet-information socket options (SO_TIMESTAMP, IP_RECVDSTADDR)
to work for multicast UDP and raw sockets as well. (They previously only
worked for unicast UDP).
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.
gcc only inlines memcpy()'s whose count is constant and didn't inline
these. I want memcpy() in the kernel go away so that it's obvious that
it doesn't need to be optimized. Now it is only used for one struct
copy in si.c.
Close the ip-fragment hole.
Waste less memory.
Rewrite to contemporary more readable style.
Kill separate IPACCT facility, use "accept" rules in IPFIREWALL.
Filter incoming >and< outgoing packets.
Replace "policy" by sticky "deny all" rule.
Rules have numbers used for ordering and deletion.
Remove "rerorder" code entirely.
Count packet & bytecount matches for rules.
Code in -current & -stable is now the same.
to enable IP forwarding, use sysctl(8). Also did the same for IPX,
which involved inventing a completely new MIB from whole cloth (which
I may not quite have correct); be aware of this if you use IPX forwarding.
(The two should never have been controlled by the same option anyway.)
