Subject[PATCH 3.12 078/122] ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280
Date
From: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 9d289715eb5c252ae15bd547cb252ca547a3c4f2 ]

Reduce the attack vector and stop generating IPv6 Fragment Header for
paths with an MTU smaller than the minimum required IPv6 MTU
size (1280 byte) - called atomic fragments.

See IETF I-D "Deprecating the Generation of IPv6 Atomic Fragments" [1]
for more information and how this "feature" can be misused.
