dccp: Always generate a Reset in response to option errors
RFC4340 states that if a packet is received with an option error (such as a Mandatory Option as the last byte of the option list), the endpoint should repond with a Reset. In the LISTEN and RESPOND states, the endpoint correctly reponds with Reset, while in the REQUEST/OPEN states, packets with option errors are just ignored. The packet sequence is as follows: Case 1: Endpoint A Endpoint B (CLOSED) (CLOSED) <---------------- REQUEST RESPONSE -----------------> (*1) (with invalid option) <---------------- RESET (with Reset Code 5, "Option Error") (*1) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent Case 2: Endpoint A Endpoint B (OPEN) (OPEN) DATA-ACK -----------------> (*2) (with invalid option) <---------------- RESET (with Reset Code 5, "Option Error") (*2) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent This patch fixes the problem, by generating a Reset instead of silently ignoring option errors.
