The keylength fix for ChaCha20Poly1305 (5a7b0be2) removes the keylength
attribute from the AEAD transform. This breaks compatibility between
versions with the patch and those without. The ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD
won't match in proposals between such versions, and if no other algorithm
is available, negotiating SAs fails.
As a migration strategy, this patch introduces a new string identifier for a
ChaCha20Poly1305 proposal keyword which uses the explicit keylength, exactly
as it was used before the mentioned patch. Administrators that care about
the use of that AEAD with old clients can temporarily add this keyword to
the list of proposals, until all clients have been upgraded.
The used approach is the least invasive, as it just adds an additional
keyword that can't do any harm if not explicitly configured. Nontheless
allows it the administrator to smoothly keep ChaCha20Poly1305 working,
even if upgrading all peers simultaneously is not an option. It requires
manual configuration edits, though, but we assume that ChaCha20Poly1305
is not that widely used, and not as the only transform in proposals.
Removing the compat keyword in a future version is an option; it might
be helpful for other implementations, though, that falsely use an
explicit key length in ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD transforms.
If the certificate is revoked, we immediately returned and the chain was
invalid, however, if we couldn't fetch the CRL that result was not stored
for intermediate CAs and we weren't able to enforce a strict CRL policy
later.
Using such CRLs can be a problem if the clock on the host doing the
revocation check is trailing behind that of the host issuing CRLs in
scenarios where expired certificates are removed from CRLs. As revoked
certificates that expired will then not be part of new CRLs a host with
trailing clock might still accept such a certificate if it is still
valid according to its system clock but is not contained anymore in the
not yet valid CRL.
According to RFC 4945, section 5.1.3.2, a certificate for IKE must
either not contain the keyUsage extension, or, if it does, have at least
one of the digitalSignature or nonReputiation bits set.
This patch allows for giving strongSwan only the runtime capabilities it
needs, rather than full root privileges.
Adds preprocessor directives which allow strongSwan to be configured to
1) start up as a non-root user
2) avoid modprobe()'ing IPsec kernel modules into the kernel, which
would normally require root or CAP_SYS_MODULE
Additionally, some small mods to charon/libstrongswan ensure that charon
fully supports starting as a non-root user.
Tested with strongSwan 5.5.3.
This algorithm uses a fixed-length key and we MUST NOT send a key length
attribute when proposing such algorithms.
While we could accept transforms with key length this would only work as
responder, as original initiator it wouldn't because we won't know if a
peer requires the key length. And as exchange initiator (e.g. for
rekeyings), while being original responder, we'd have to go to great
lengths to store the condition and modify the sent proposal to patch in
the key length. This doesn't seem worth it for only a partial fix.
This means, however, that ChaCha20/Poly1305 can't be used with previous
releases (5.3.3 an newer) that don't contain this fix.

This helps to distinguish between port and protocol if only one of them
is set. If no protocol is set it's printed as 0, if the traffic
selector covers any port (0-65535) the slash that separates the two values
and the port is omitted.
According to RFC 5114 the exponent length for these groups should always equal
the size of their prime order subgroup.
This was handled correctly before the initialization was done during
library initialization.

We can't use ASN1_DEF, which would technically be more correct, as the
ASN.1 parser currently can't handle that. For algorithm identifiers we
often use ASN1_EOC as type (with ASN1_RAW), however, that doesn't work with
ASN1_DEF because the element is assumed missing if the type doesn't match.
On the other hand, we can't set the type to ASN1_SEQUENCE because then the
parser skips the following rule if the element is missing (it does so for
all constructed types, but I guess is mainly intended for context tags),
which in this case overruns the parser rules array.
This way there will be a mismatch if one of the proposals contains
transform types not contained in the other (the fix list of transform
types used previously resulted in a match if unknown transform types
were contained in one of the proposals). Merging the sets of types
makes comparing proposals with optional transform types easier (e.g.
DH for ESP with MODP_NONE).
The timed wait functions tested in the threading unit tests often but
randomly trigger a bit early on AppVeyor Windows containers. We allow this
if it is not earlier than 5ms.
Depending on the plugins that eventually parse the certificate and CRL,
serials with MSB set (i.e. negative numbers that have a zero byte prefixed
when encoded as ASN.1 INTEGER) might have (x509 plugin) or not have
(openssl plugin) a zero byte prefix when returned by get_serial() or
enumerated from the CRL. Strip them before doing the comparison or
revocation checking might fail if not both credentials are parsed by the
same plugin (which should be rare and only happen if parsing of either
cert or CRL fails with one of the plugins and there is a fallback to the
implementation provided by the other plugin).
Fixes#2509.
Reset errno to 0 before calling strtoul() since it sets errno only on
error cases. So the following test fails even on correct conversions if
errno had a value != 0.
Fixes#2506.
Support for mark=%unique/%unique-dir is implemented by using designated
magic mark values.
Use of masks is orthogonal to the 'unique' feature, as it is useful to be
able to designate portions of the packet mark for other purposes, while
still using different marks for different connections.
When these magic values are masked, their magic meaning is lost.
Perform masking only on explicit mark values.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#87.
This allows us to use it without having to initialize libcharon, which
was required for the logging (we probably could have included debug.h
instead of daemon.h to workaround that but this seems more correct).
