Sometimes tcpdump fails to process all packets during the short running
time of a scenario:
0 packets captured
18 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
So 18 packets were captured by libpcap but tcpdump did not yet process
and print them.
This tries to use --immediate-mode if supported by tcpdump (the one
currently in jessie or wheezy does not, but the one in jessie-backports
does), which disables the buffering in libpcap.
However, even with immediate mode there are cases where it takes a while
longer for all packets to get processed. And without it we also need a
workaround (even though the version in wheezy actually works fine).
That's why there now is a loop checking for differences in captured vs.
received packets. There are actually cases where these numbers are not
equal but we still captured all packets we're interested in, so we abort
after 1s of retrying. But sometimes it could still happen that packets
we expected got lost somewhere ("packets dropped by kernel" is not
always 0 either).
The main difference is that ping now reports icmp_seq instead of
icmp_req, so we match for icmp_.eq, which works with both releases.
tcpdump now also reports port 4500 as ipsec-nat-t.
Several packages got renamed/updated, libgcrypt was apparently installed
by default previously.
Since most libraries changed we have to completely rebuild all the tools
installed in the root image. We currently don't provide a clean target in
the recipes, and even if we did we'd have to track which base image we
last built for. It's easier to just use a different build directory for
each base image, at the cost of some additional disk space (if not manually
cleaned). However, that's also the case when updating kernel or
software versions.
It is still compatible with the current release as the config in
sites-available will be ignored, while conf-enabled does not exist and
is not included in the main config.
Unlike `apt-get install` in a chroot debootstrap does not seem to start
the services but stopping them might cause problems if they were running
outside the chroot.
Newer versions of GCC are too "smart" and replace a call to malloc(X)
followed by a call to memset(0,X) with a call co calloc(), which obviously
results in an infinite loop when it does that in our own calloc()
implementation. Using `volatile` for the variable storing the total size
prevents the optimization and we actually call malloc().
This fixes DNS server installation if make-before-break reauthentication
is used as there the new SA and DNS server is installed before it then
is removed again when the old IKE_SA is torn down.
If running resolvconf fails handle() fails release() is not called, which
might leave an interface file on the system (or depending on which script
called by resolvconf actually failed even the installed DNS server).
Changes how the interface for routes installed with policies is
determined. In most cases we now use the interface over which we reach the
other peer, not the interface on which the local address (or the source IP) is
installed. However, that might be the same interface depending on the
configuration (i.e. in practice there will often not be a change).
Routes are not installed anymore for drop policies and for policies with
protocol/port selectors.
Fixes#809, #824, #1347.
We don't need them for drop policies and they might even mess with other
routes we install. Routes for policies with protocol/ports in the
selector will always be too broad and might conflict with other routes
we install.
Using the source address to determine the interface is not correct for
net-to-net shunts between two interfaces on which the host has IP addresses
for each subnet.
Other threads are free to add/update/delete other policies.
This tries to prevent race conditions caused by releasing the mutex while
sending messages to the kernel. For instance, if break-before-make
reauthentication is used and one thread on the responder is delayed in
deleting the policies that another thread is concurrently adding for the
new SA. This could have resulted in no policies being installed
eventually.
Fixes#1400.
memeq() is currently used to compare these but if there is padding that
is not initialized the same for two instances the comparison fails.
Using this function ensures the objects are compared correctly.
