      tcp: missing check ACK flag of received segment in FIN-WAIT-2 state · 1ac530b3
      Wei Yongjun authored
      RFC0793 defined that in FIN-WAIT-2 state if the ACK bit is off drop
      the segment and return[Page 72]. But this check is missing in function
      tcp_timewait_state_process(). This cause the segment with FIN flag but
      no ACK has two diffent action:
      
      Case 1:
          Node A                      Node B
                    <-------------    FIN,ACK
                                      (enter FIN-WAIT-1)
          ACK       ------------->
                                      (enter FIN-WAIT-2)
          FIN       ------------->    discard
                                      (move sk to tw list)
      
      Case 2:
          Node A                      Node B
                    <-------------    FIN,ACK
                                      (enter FIN-WAIT-1)
          ACK       ------------->
                                      (enter FIN-WAIT-2)
                                      (move sk to tw list)
          FIN       ------------->
      
                    <-------------    ACK
      
      This patch fixed the problem.
