Previously, the client had to propose no wider selectors than the certificate
permits, otherwise the complete CHILD_SA was rejected. However, with IKEv2
we can dynamically narrow the selectors to what the certificate allows. This
makes client and gateway configurations very simple by just proposing 0.0.0.0/0,
narrowed to selectors the client is permitted to route into the network.
This allows a gateway to enforce the addrblock policy on certificates that
actually have the extension only. For (legacy) certificates not having the
extension, traffic selectors are validated/narrowed by other means, most
likely by the configuration.
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).
The original name is returned in the new "name" attribute.
This fixes an issue with bindings that map VICI messages to
dictionaries. For instance, in roadwarrior scenarios where every
CHILD_SA has the same name only the information of the last CHILD_SA
would end up in the dictionary for that name.
PINs are stored in a "hidden" credential set, so that its shared
secrets are not exposed via VICI. Since they are not explicitly loaded as
shared secrets via VICI a client might consider them as removed secrets and
remove them.
After an interface disappeared we can't remove the policies correctly as
the name doesn't resolve to the previous index anymore.
And making the policies so specific might not provide that much benefit.
To handle the interfaces on the policies correctly would require some
changes to the child-cfg, kernel-interface etc. so they'd take interface
indices directly so we could target the policies correctly even if an
interface disappeared (or reappeared and got a new index).
For table dumps the kernel accepts RTA_PREFSRC to filter the routes, which is
what we do when doing userspace route calculations. For kernel-based route
lookups, however, the RTA_PREFSRC attribute is ignored and we must specify
RTA_SRC for policy based route lookups.
For gateways with many connections, installing routes is often disabled,
as we can use a static route configuration to achieve proper routing with
a single rule. If this is the case, there is no need to dump all routes and
do userspace route lookups, as there is no need to exclude routes we installed
ourself.
Doing kernel-based route lookups is not only faster with may routes, but also
can use the full power of Linux policy based routing; something we can hardly
rebuild in userspace when calculating routes.
When using vici over RPyC and its (awesome) splitbrain, encoding and decoding
strings fails in vici, most likely because of the Monkey-Patch magic splitbrain
uses.
When specifying the implicit UTF-8 as encoding scheme explicitly, Python uses
the correct method to encode/decode the string, making vici useable in
splitbrain contexts.
While trap and regular policies now often look the same (mainly because
reqids are kept constant) trap policies still need to have a lower priority
than regular policies to handle unroute/route correctly if e.g. IPComp
is used or the mode changes. But if we use a completely different
priority range that's lower than that of regular policies it is not possible
to install overlapping trap policies. By differentiating trap from
regular policies via the priority's LSB this issue is avoided while
still maintaining the proper ordering of trap and regular policies.
Fixes#1243.
The Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) seems to fail in some
cases (`dadfailed` in `ip addr`) rendering the virtual IP address unusable.
Fixes#2183.
This implements rule 6 of RFC 6724 using the default priority table,
so that e.g. global addresses are preferred over ULAs (which also have
global scope) when the destination is a global address.
Fixes#2138.
By default, the kernel incorrectly uses an 8 byte alignment, which is
mandatory for IPv6 but prohibited for IPv4. For many algorithms this
doesn't matter but that's not the case for HMAC_SHA2_256_128.
Since 2.6.39 the kernel can be explicitly configured to use a 4 byte
alignment.
