Hi,

we use the follwoing action to mitigate it.
(According to 
https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-001/block-low-mss/iptables.txt)

```
# file: /etc/shorewall/action.SACK

# Drop SYN packets with small MSS to mitigate SACK attacks

?format 2

DEFAULTS DROP

?begin perl;

use Shorewall::Config;
use Shorewall::Rules;

my ( $action ) = get_action_params( 1 );

set_comment ( 'Drop SYN packets with small MSS to mitigate SACK attacks' );
perl_action_tcp_helper( $action, '-m tcpmss --mss 1:500' );

1;

?end perl;

```


```
# file: /etc/shorewall/actions
SACK    inline
```

```
# file: /etc/shorewall/rules

?SECTION NEW
SACK(DROP)      all     all
```

Regards,
Thomas
