InvalidChecksumInCookieAck.seq - COOKIE-ACK chunk is received with invalid checksum
To check that if COOKIE-ACK chunk is received with invalid checksum, the endpoint should silently discards the COOKIE-ACK.
./InvalidChecksumInCookieAck.seq [-tooloption ...] -pkt ./InvalidChecksumInCookieAck.def -tooloption : v6eval tool option See Also: ../common/STD_PKT_COMMON.def ../common/SCTP_COMMON.def
Association is not established between endpoint A and B. Arrange data in endpoint A such that COOKIE-ACK message is send to endpoint B with invalid checksum.
Endpoint A Endpoint B ULP (CLOSED) (COOKIE-WAIT)
<---------------- COOKIE-ECHO
COOKIE-ACK -----------------> Silently discard (with invalid checksum) <---------------- COOKIE-ECHO
COOKIE-ACK ----------------->
TEST DESCRIPTION:
1. Attempt to initiate an association from endpoint A to B. Send COOKIE-ACK message with wrong CRC-32 checksum. Record the message sequence using a signal emulator. 2. Check A: COOKIE-ACK message is discarded and no other actions are taken. 3. Check B: Was the message sequence as above.
None
RFC 4960
1.5.6. Packet Validation
A mandatory Verification Tag field and a 32-bit checksum field (see Appendix B for a description of the CRC32c checksum) are included in the SCTP common header. The Verification Tag value is chosen by each end of the association during association startup. Packets received without the expected Verification Tag value are discarded, as a protection against blind masquerade attacks and against stale SCTP packets from a previous association. The CRC32c checksum should be set by the sender of each SCTP packet to provide additional protection against data corruption in the network. The receiver of an SCTP packet with an invalid CRC32c checksum silently discards the packet.
