Background + +Hyper-V is a native hypervisor running on Windows operating system. It can +run FreeBSD 10.x as guest in virtual machine. + +When FreeBSD guest runs on Hyper-V, to get the best network performance, +it usually uses the Hyper-V synthetic network device. The driver of the +network device is called hv_netvsc(4). Since FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE the +driver supports TCP segmentation and TCP/IP checksum offloading. + +II. Problem Description + +Together with the TCP segmentation and TCP/IP checksum offloading a regression +was introduced. The driver checked the inbound checksum flags when deciding +whether to process checksums or not, while it should have checked the outbound +flags only. + +III. Impact + +If the guest running on Hyper-V is configured as a gateway, the host will +silently drop certain packets from the guest. + +IV. Workaround + +No workaround is available. + +V. Solution + +Perform one of the following: + +1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security +branch (releng) dated after the correction date. Reboot is required. + +2) To update your system via a binary patch: + +Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 +platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: + +# freebsd-update fetch +# freebsd-update install + +Reboot is required. + +3) To update your system via a source code patch: + +The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable +FreeBSD release branches. + +a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the +detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. + +# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:05/hv_netvsc.patch +# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:05/hv_netvsc.patch.asc +# gpg --verify hv_netvsc.patch.asc + +b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: + +# cd /usr/src +# patch < /path/to/patch + +c) Recompile your kernel as described in +<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the +system. + +VI.
