[PATCH 5.15 649/913] netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: preserve liberal flag in tcp options

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 22:02:53 EST


From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f2dd495a8d589371289981d5ed33e6873df94ecc ]

Do not reset IP_CT_TCP_FLAG_BE_LIBERAL flag in out-of-sync scenarios
coming before the TCP window tracking, otherwise such connections will
fail in the window check.

Update tcp_options() to leave this flag in place and add a new helper
function to reset the tcp window state.

Based on patch from Sven Auhagen.

Fixes: c4832c7bbc3f ("netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: improve out-of-sync situation in TCP tracking")
