If multiple threads want to enumerate child-cfgs and potentially lock
other locks (e.g. check out IKE_SAs) while doing so a deadlock could
be caused (as was the case with VICI configs with start_action=start).
It should also improve performance for roadwarrior connections and lots
of clients connecting concurrently.
Fixes#2374.
traffic_selector_t::to_subnet() always sets the net/host (unless the
address family was invalid).
Fixes: 3070697f9f ("ike: support multiple addresses, ranges and subnets in IKE address config")
The correct truncation is 128-bit but some implementations insist on
using 96-bit truncation. With strongSwan this can be negotiated using
an algorithm identifier from a private range. But this doesn't work
with third-party implementations. This adds an option to use 96-bit
truncation even if the official identifier is used.
Usually, %dynamic is used as traffic selector for transport mode SAs,
however, if wildcard traps are used then the remote TS will be a subnet.
With strongSwan at the remote end that usually works fine as the local
%dynamic TS narrows the proposed TS appropriately. But some
implementations reject non-host TS for transport mode SAs.
Another problem could be if several distinct subnets are configured for a
wildcard trap, as we'd then propose unrelated subnets on that transport
mode SA, which might be problematic even for strongSwan (switch to tunnel
mode and duplicate policies).
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#61.
This way updates to the mediation config are respected and the order in
which configs are configured/loaded does not matter.
The SQL plugin currently maintains the strong relationship between
mediated and mediation connection (we could theoretically change that to a
string too).
If charon.prefer_configured_proposals is disabled select() is called on
the received proposal. This incorrectly set the SPI to 0 as the
configured proposal has no SPI set.
Fixes#2190.
Recent research demonstrates that at least for 1024-bit DH groups, it is
possible to create specially crafted primes having a backdoor. From the
prime itself this is not detectable, creating a perfect NOBUS attack.
http://eprint.iacr.org/2016/961
For the primes defined in RFC 5114 no information is provided on how these
have been selected. In the default proposal we included one of the 2048-bit
primes only, where it is questionable if constructing a backdoored prime is
feasible. Nevertheless, this patch removes the group from the set of default
proposals as well.
We parse aes*gmac as encryption algorithm, which we have to map to an
integrity algorithm. We also make sure we remove all other encryption
algorithms and ensure there is an integrity algorithm.
This fixes an interoperability issue with Windows Server 2012 R2 gateways.
They insist on using modp1024 for IKE, however, Microsoft's IKEv2
implementation seems only to consider the first 15 DH groups in the proposal.
Depending on the loaded plugins modp1024 is now at position 17 or even
later, causing the server to reject the proposal. By removing some of
the weaker and rarely used DH groups from the default proposal we make
sure modp1024 is among the first 15 DH groups. The removed groups may
still be used by configuring custom proposals.
If DPD timeout is set but to a value smaller than the DPD delay the code
in task_manager_v1.c:queue_liveliness_check will run into an integer
underrun.
The default ESP cipher suite is now
AES_CBC-128/HMAC_SHA2_256_128
and requires SHA-2 HMAC support in the Linux kernel (correctly implemented
since 2.6.33).
The default IKE cipher suite is now
AES_CBC-128/HMAC_SHA2_256_128/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/ECP_256
if the openssl plugin is loaded or
AES_CBC-128/HMAC_SHA2_256_128/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/MODP_3072
if ECC is not available.
The use of the SHA-1 hash algorithm and the MODP_2048 DH group has been
deprecated and ENCR_CHACHA20_POLY1305 has been added to the default
IKE AEAD algorithms.
