This is particularly important for higher number of segments, but even
with small numbers there is a significant difference. For instance,
with 4 segments the fourth segment had no IPs assigned with the old
code, no matter how large the pool, because none of the eight bits used
for the segment check hashed/mapped to it.
Upcoming versions of FreeBSD will include an SADB_X_EXT_SA2 extension in
acquires that contains the reqid set on the matching policy. This allows
handling acquires even when no policies are installed (e.g. to work with
FreeBSD's implementation of VTI interfaces, which manage policies
themselves).
Same issue with signature malleability as with Ed25519 and apparently
OpenSSL doesn't even explicitly verify that the most significant 10 bits
are all zero.
As per RFC 8032, section 5.1.7 (and section 8.4) we have to make sure s, which
is the scalar in the second half of the signature value, is smaller than L.
Without that check, L can be added to most signatures at least once to create
another valid signature for the same public key and message.
This could be problematic if, for instance, a blacklist is based on hashes
of certificates. A new certificate could be created with a different
signature (without knowing the signature key) by simply adding L to s.
Currently, both OpenSSL 1.1.1 and Botan 2.8.0 are vulnerable to this, which is
why the unit test currently only warns about it.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces DRGBs and provides two sources (same security
profile etc. but separate internal state), which allows us to use one for
RNG_WEAK (e.g. for nonces that are directly publicly visible) and the other
for stronger random data like keys.
While X25519 was already added with 1.1.0a, its use would be a lot more
complicated, as the helpers like EVP_PKEY_new_raw_public_key() were only
added in 1.1.1, which also added X448.
In case a subnet is moved from one interface to another the policies can
remain as is but the route has to change. This currently doesn't happen
automatically and there is no option to update the policy or route so
removing and reinstalling the policies is the only option.
Fixes#2820.
The peer might not have seen the CREATE_CHILD_SA response yet, receiving a
DELETE for the SA could then trigger it to abort the rekeying, causing
the deletion of the newly established SA (it can't know whether the
DELETE was sent due to an expire or because the user manually deleted
it). We just treat this SA as if we received a DELETE for it. This is
not an ideal situation anyway, as it causes some traffic to get dropped,
so it should usually be avoided by setting appropriate soft and hard limits.
References #2815.
Because the file is not available on all platforms the inclusion comes
after the user options in order to disable including it. But that means
the inclusion also follows after the defined scanner states, which are
generated as simple #defines to numbers. If the included unistd.h e.g.
uses variables in function definitions with the same names this could
result in compilation errors.
Interactive mode has to be disabled too as it relies on isatty() from
unistd.h. Since we don't use the scanners interactively, this is not a
problem and might even make the scanners a bit faster.
Fixes#2806.
According to gcrypt.h these callbacks are not used anymore since
version 1.6 and with clang these actually cause deprecation warnings
that let the build on travis (-Werror) fail.
This is because OpenSSL 1.1 started to use atexit()-handlers of its own
to clean up. Since the plugin is loaded and initialized after libcharon,
OpenSSL's cleanup functions ran before the daemon was properly
deinitialized (i.e. worker threads were still running and OpenSSL might
still be used during the deinit). So several of OpenSSL's internal
structures were already destroyed when libcharon_deinit() was eventually
called via our own atexit()-handler.
The observed behavior was that the daemon couldn't be terminated properly
anymore for some test scenarios (only three TNC scenarios were affected
actually). When the daemon tried to send the DELETE for the established
IKE_SA during its termination it got stuck in OpenSSL's RNG_WEAK
implementation (used to allocate random padding), which apparently tries
to acquire an rwlock that was already destroyed. The main thread then
just busy-waited indefinitely on the lock, i.e. until systemd killed
it eventually after a rather long timeout.
We'll probably have to apply similar changes to other apps/scripts that
load plugins and currently use atexit() to clean up. Although some
scripts (e.g. dh_speed or hash_burn) are not affected because they
register the deinitialization after loading the plugins.
If a lot of QUICK_MODE tasks are queued and the other side
sends a DPD request, there is a good chance for timeouts.
Observed this in cases where other side is quite slow in responding
QUICK_MODE requests (e.g. Cisco ASA v8.x) and about 100 CHILD_SAs
are to be spawned.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#115.
Checking for whitelisted functions in every backtrace is not very
efficient. And because OpenSSL 1.1 does no proper cleanup anymore until
the process is terminated there are now a lot more "leaks" to ignore.
For instance, in the openssl-ikev2/rw-cert scenario, just starting and
stopping the daemon (test vectors are checked) now causes 3594 whitelisted
leaks compared to the 849 before. This prolonged the shutdown of the
daemon on each guest in every scenario, amounting to multiple seconds of
additional runtime for every affected scenario. But even with this
patch there is still some overhead, compared to running the scenarios on
jessie.
SHA-384 is not supported but is selected by signature_schemes_for_key()
for keys between 3072 and 7680 bits.
Since this is only called for IKEv2 signature authentication we don't
even provide SHA-1 anymore. We always provide both schemes, though,
which is what pubkey-authenticator does too for RSA.
Older agents apparently just ignore the flags and always return a SHA-1
signature. If that's the case, charon.signature_authentication has to
be disabled.
