Now sctp stream reconf will process a request again even if it's seqno is less than asoc->strreset_inseq. If one request has been done successfully and some data chunks have been accepted and then a duplicated strreset out request comes, the streamin's ssn will be cleared. It will cause that stream will never receive chunks any more because of unsynchronized ssn. It allows a replay attack. A similar issue also exists when processing addstrm out requests. It will cause more extra streams being added. This patch is to fix it by saving the last 2 results into asoc. When a duplicated strreset out or addstrm out request is received, reply it with bad seqno if it's seqno < asoc->strreset_inseq - 2, and reply it with the result saved in asoc if it's seqno >= asoc->strreset_inseq - 2. Note that it saves last 2 results instead of only last 1 result, because two requests can be sent together in one chunk. And note that when receiving a duplicated request, the receiver side will still reply it even if the peer has received the response. It's safe, As the response will be dropped by the peer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
