Real AEADs directly provide a suitable IV generator, but traditional crypters
do not. For some (stream) ciphers, we should use sequential IVs, for which
we pass an appropriate generator to the AEAD wrapper.
The current "inbound" flag is used for two purposes: To define the actual
direction of the SA, but also to determine the operation used for SA
installation. If an SPI has been allocated, an update operation is required
instead of an add.
While the inbound flag normally defines the kind of operation required, this
is not necessarily true in all cases. On the HA passive node, we install inbound
SAs without prior SPI allocation.
TKM can't verify such signatures so we'd fail in the authorize hook.
Skipping the algorithm identifier doesn't help if the peer uses
anything other than SHA-1, so config changes would be required.
Store the remote instead of the local SPI in the SAD when adding a new
entry in the kernel plugin's add_sa() function.
Since only one ESA context must be destroyed for an inbound/outbound
CHILD SA pair, it does not matter which SPI is used to retrieve it in
the del_sa function.
Update the call to hydra->kernel_interface->expire to make
ees_callback.c compile again. The required destination host argument is
set to NULL for now.
While we can handle the first selector only in BEET mode in kernel-netlink,
passing the full list gives the backend more flexibility how to handle this
information.
The reqid is not strictly required, as we set the reqid with the update
call when installing the negotiated SA.
If we don't need a reqid at this stage, we can later allocate the reqid in
the kernel backend once the SA parameters have been fully negotaited. This
allows us to assign the same reqid for the same selectors to avoid conflicts
on backends this is necessary.
Before this fix it was possible to crash charon with an IKE_SA_INIT
message containing a KE payload with DH group MODP_CUSTOM(1025).
Defining MODP_CUSTOM outside of the two byte IKE DH identifier range
prevents it from getting negotiated.
Fixes CVE-2014-9221.
The TKM Diffie-Hellman plugin now maps IANA DH identifiers to TKM DH
algorithm identifiers. The mapping is specified in the daemon's
'dh_mapping' section in the strongswan.conf file:
dh_mapping {
iana_id1 = tkm_id1
iana_id2 = tkm_id2
iana_id3 = tkm_id3
...
}
Only the mapped IANA IDs are registered as supported DH groups.
Due to problems with the external libraries tkm_init/deinit can't be
called for each test case. Because of this leak detective has to be
disabled for these tests.
INCLUDES are now deprecated and throw warnings when using automake 1.13.
We now also differentiate AM_CPPFLAGS and AM_CFLAGS, where includes and
defines are passed to AM_CPPFLAGS only.
This new flag gives the kernel-interface a hint how it should priorize the
use of newly installed SAs during rekeying.
Consider the following rekey procedure in IKEv2:
Initiator --- Responder
I1 -------CREATE-------> R1
I2 <------CREATE--------
-------DELETE-------> R2
I3 <------DELETE--------
SAs are always handled as pairs, the following happens at the SA level:
* Initiator starts the exchange at I1
* Responder installs new SA pair at R1
* Initiator installs new SA pair at I2
* Responder removes old SA pair at R2
* Initiator removes old SA pair at I3
This makes sure SAs get installed/removed overlapping during rekeying. However,
to avoid any packet loss, it is crucial that the new outbound SA gets
activated at the correct position:
* as exchange initiator, in I2
* as exchange responder, in R2
This should guarantee that we don't use the new outbound SA before the peer
could install its corresponding inbound SA.
The new parameter allows the kernel backend to install the new SA with
appropriate priorities, i.e. it should:
* as exchange inititator, have the new outbound SA installed with higher
priority than the old SA
* as exchange responder, have the new outbound SA installed with lower
priority than the old SA
While we could split up the SA installation at the responder, this approach
has another advantage: it allows the kernel backend to switch SAs based on
other criteria, for example when receiving traffic on the new inbound SA.
