Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: make sack processing more robust Jonathan Looney brought to our attention multiple problems in TCP stack at the sender side. SACK processing can be abused by malicious peers to either cause overflows, or increase of memory usage. First two patches fix the immediate problems. Since the malicious peers abuse senders by advertizing a very small MSS in their SYN or SYNACK packet, the last two patches add a new sysctl so that admins can chose a higher limit for MSS clamping. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
