[RFC PATCH net-next 4/7] net: ipv6: mld: implement RFC3810 MLDv2 mode only

From: Daniel Borkmann <hidden>
Date: 2013-08-30 16:58:37
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

RFC3810, 10. Security Considerations says under subsection 10.1.
Query Message:

  A forged Version 1 Query message will put MLDv2 listeners on that
  link in MLDv1 Host Compatibility Mode. This scenario can be avoided
  by providing MLDv2 hosts with a configuration option to ignore
  Version 1 messages completely.

Hence, implement a MLDv2-only mode that will ignore MLDv1 traffic:

  echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ethX/force_mld_version
