* kernel: backport upstream challenge ACK fix (CVE-2016-5696)Jo-Philipp Wich2016-08-131-0/+66
Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS (RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic paper. Backports upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 to the used LEDE kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
