net/tcp: Ignore specific ICMPs for TCP-AO connections
Similarly to IPsec, RFC5925 prescribes: ">> A TCP-AO implementation MUST default to ignore incoming ICMPv4 messages of Type 3 (destination unreachable), Codes 2-4 (protocol unreachable, port unreachable, and fragmentation needed -- ’hard errors’), and ICMPv6 Type 1 (destination unreachable), Code 1 (administratively prohibited) and Code 4 (port unreachable) intended for connections in synchronized states (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN- WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, LAST-ACK, TIME-WAIT) that match MKTs." A selftest (later in patch series) verifies that this attack is not possible in this TCP-AO implementation.
