strongswan-5.8.2
----------------
- Identity-based CA constraints are supported via vici/swanctl.conf. They
enforce that the remote's certificate chain contains a CA certificate with a
specific identity. While similar to the existing CA constraints, they don't
require that the CA certificate is locally installed such as intermediate CA
certificates received from peers. Compared to wildcard identity matching (e.g.
"..., OU=Research, CN=*") this requires less trust in the intermediate CAs (to
only issue certificates with legitimate subject DNs) as long as path length
basic constraints prevent them from issuing further intermediate CAs.
- Intermediate CA certificates may now be sent in hash-and-URL encoding by
configuring a base URL for the parent CA.
- Implemented NIST SP-800-90A Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG)
based on AES-CTR and SHA2-HMAC modes. Currently used by gmp and ntru plugins.
- Random nonces sent in an OCSP requests are now expected in the corresponding
OCSP responses.
- The kernel-netlink plugin ignores deprecated IPv6 addresses for MOBIKE.
Whether temporary or permanent IPv6 addresses are included depends on the
charon.prefer_temporary_addrs setting.
- Extended Sequence Numbers (ESN) are configured via PF_KEY if supported by the
kernel.
- Unique section names are used for CHILD_SAs in vici child-updown events and
more information (e.g. statistics) are included for individually deleted
CHILD_SAs (in particular for IKEv1).
- So fallbacks to other plugins work properly, creating HMACs via openssl plugin
now fails instantly if the underlying hash algorithm isn't supported (e.g.
MD5 in FIPS-mode).
- Exponents of RSA keys read from TPM 2.0 via SAPI are now correctly converted.
- Routing table IDs > 255 are supported for custom routes on Linux.
- The D-Bus config file for charon-nm is now installed in
$(datadir)/dbus-1/system.d instead of $(sysconfdir)/dbus-1/system.d.
- INVALID_MAJOR_VERSION notifies are now correctly sent in messages of the same
exchange type and using the same message ID as the request.
- IKEv2 SAs are immediately destroyed when sending or receiving INVALID_SYNTAX
notifies in authenticated messages.
