patch 'ip_frag: randomize hash seed' has been queued to stable release 24.11.7

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/13/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/d6394709c4784d08fcbd41187fa9288b62c870d2

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] ip_frag: randomize hash seed

[ upstream commit f9c4124c49b6e63e8156a2a89a8fad692cc70413 ]

Both ipv4_frag_hash() and ipv6_frag_hash() use CRC32 (x86/ARM)
or jhash with a fixed, publicly known prime seed (0xeaad8405).
An attacker who can send crafted IP fragments can precompute hash
collisions, causing all fragments to land in the same bucket.
After bucket_entries concurrent flows collide, new flows are  dropped.

Fix by using a random hash seed added at table creation time.

Fixes: 416707812c03 ("ip_frag: refactor reassembly code into a proper library")
