sysctl.conf: drop RST packets for sockets in TIME-WAIT state
RFC 1337 describes various TCP (side channel) attacks against
prematurely closed connections stalling in TIME-WAIT state, such as DoS
or injecting arbitrary TCP segments, and recommends to silently discard
RST packets for sockets in this state.
While applications still tied to such sockets should tolerate invalid
input (thanks to Jon Postel), there is little legitimate reason to send
such RST packets altogether.
At the time of writing, no collateral damage related to active RFC 1337
implementations is known. Measuerements in productive environments did
not reveal any side effects either, which is why I consider enabling RFC
1337 implementation to be a safe change.
