In some cases the third message of a Quick Mode exchange might arrive
after the first message of a subsequent Quick Mode exchange. Previously
these messages were handled incorrectly and the second Quick Mode
exchange failed.
Some implementations might even try to establish multiple Quick Modes
simultaneously, which is explicitly allowed in RFC 2409. We don't fully
support that, though, in particular in case of retransmits.
Fixes#1076.
The next release of FreeBSD will support this.
While Linux defines constants for AES-GCM in pfkeyv2.h since 2.6.25 it
does not actually support it. When SAs are installed via PF_KEY only a
lookup in XFRM's list of encryption algorithms is done, but AES-GCM is in
a different table for AEAD algorithms (there is currently no lookup
function to find algorithms in that table via PF_KEY identifier).
While this doesn't really create any problems it is not 100% correct to
accept such messages because, of course, the sender of an IKE_SA_INIT
request is always the original initiator of an IKE_SA.
We currently don't check the flag later, so we wouldn't notice if the
peer doesn't set it in later messages (ike_sa_id_t.equals doesn't
compare it anymore since we added support for IKEv1, in particular since
17ec1c74de).
If multiple certificates use the same subjects we might choose the wrong
one otherwise. This way we use the one referenced with leftcert and
stored in the auth-cfg and we actually do the same thing later in the
pubkey authenticator.
Fixes#1077.
This allows symmetric configuration of EAP methods (i.e. the same value
in leftauth and rightauth) when mutual EAP-only authentication is used.
Previously the client had to configure rightauth=eap or rightauth=any,
which prevented it from using this same config as responder.
When reestablishing the IKE_SA we should still use the original port
when right resolves to %any as some implementations might not like
initial IKE messages on port 4500 (especially for IKEv1).
The first segment only fit if the segmentation envelope attribute
was preceded by a Max Attribute Size Response attribute. The
improved implementation fills up the first PA-TNC message with
the first segment up to the maximum message size.
If the routing rule we use to direct traffic to our own routing table
excludes traffic with a certain mark (fwmark = !<mark>) we can simplify
the route lookup and avoid dumping all routes by passing the mark to the
request. That way our own routes are ignored and we get the preferred
route back without having to dump and analyze all routes, which is quite a
burden on hosts with lots of routes.
This may happen if something like `echo ... > /path/to/fifo` is used
before the plugin was able to create the FIFO. In that case we'd end
up in a loop always reading the same values from the static file.
Some implementations don't send a Key Length attribute for AES-128.
This was allowed for IKE in early drafts of RFC 3602, however, some
implementations also seem to do it for ESP, where it never was allowed.
And the final version of RFC 3602 demands a Key Length attribute for both
phases so they shouldn't do it anymore anyway.
Fixes#1064.
Not sure if defining multiple CA constraints and enforcing _all_ of them,
i.e. the previous behavior, makes even sense. To ensure a very specific
chain it should be enough to define the last intermediate CA. On the
other hand, the ability to define multiple CAs could simplify configuration.
This can currently only be used with swanctl/VICI based configs as `rightca`
only takes a single DN.
During a rekeying we want to reuse the current reqid, but if the new SA
does not allocate it via kernel-interface the state there will disappear
when the old SA is destroyed after the rekeying. When the IKE_SA is
later reauthenticated with make-before-break reauthentication the new
CHILD_SAs there will get new reqids as no existing state is found in the
kernel-interface, breaking policy installation in the kernel.
Fixes: a49393954f ("child-sa: Use any fixed reqid configured on the CHILD_SA config")
This can be useful if the subject DN has to be configured with the
asn1dn: prefix in ipsec.conf (e.g. because the actual encoding can't be
created by strongSwan's string parser/encoder).
Vendor specific EAP methods may be registered with:
PLUGIN_CALLBACK(eap_method_register, <constructor>),
PLUGIN_PROVIDE(EAP_SERVER_VENDOR, <type>, <vendor>),
Same for client implementations via EAP_PEER_VENDOR.
